Constant concious swallowing (must read)

[Guillers95]

This is actually rlly receantly, but it keeps me from sleeping, only sleep 2 hours in 36 at the moment. (sorry in advance for any gramatical error out there). I feel the need to swallow my spit or saliva like once in 2 minutes, except if my mind is busy with other stuff which makes it impossible to do while i try to sleep. I know it comes from anxiety since i suffer from it, i just want to know if you guys/girls have experienced any of this and how you solved, i need my sleep

Distraction helps a lot, maybe put talk radio on for a bit or read a magazine. One of the more frustrating manifestations of anxiety I know.

I just had this problem 2 weeks ago once my anxiety came down it has almost gone away only comes back once in a whole and is improving every day, it's related to anxiety

Hey guys, if it helps try carbonated ice cold water. I just read that that can ease any need to clear throat and swallow.

By the way do you feel excess saliva in your mouth or the urge of swallowing because of your throat?

Try to distract yourself from it, try relaxation techniques using videos online.

Did you get an answer for this? I watched a video on YouTube about Globus, and it stopped this for me straight away. Feel like my brain understood and that was it...!
