Hi Stars,

I have this happen when I get an adrenaline rush, which of course it what triggers our anxiety. Now that you are scared of the feeling of what's going on in your throat, you're tensing up as soon as you feel something, which puts you in the cycle.

I'm dealing with this type of thing when I eat. A couple months ago I choked on something, but was okay, now when I swallow I have flashbacks to choking and start to panic real easily like it's happening again...but it's not.

I wish we could put our minds on timeout for being bad, haha. But yes, I've felt what you're feeling and it's all our anxiety.

:hugs:

Hey its happened so many times since the panic attack and still happening now even though I have no adrenline or worries :( iv tried to take my mind off it and when I do it clears but then it comes again feels kind of like my throat sticks together and then opens and I do fear this sensation coming back when it goes so what you said makes so much sense thankyou :)
