Hello my friends!

[Dasani95]

Hi,

I joined this forum a day or two ago. I decide I better introduce myself.

I'll share my story.

About 8-10 weeks ago I almost choked on some steak. I didn't, but it felt like it got stuck in my throat. Ever since I've had bad anxiety especially around eating because I'm worried it's going to happen again.

I've had several medical tests to make sure nothing is wrong with my throat and I was told I have silent reflux. Who knows if it's really causing any problems.

As a result of all of this, my diet has changed and I am nervous to eat with people because I don't want to go into a panic attack while eating if I get that sensation of food being stuck again.

I hope we can work together to get over our anxiety and depression.

I look forward to chatting with you all!

What a scary experience. What is "silent reflux"?

It's similar to acid reflux but I don't get heartburn. It's where stomach acid can get into your throat and voice box which is much more sensitive than the esophagus.
