Something started yesterday. A common cold maybe but today I dont have a sore throat. But I feel something is tight; under the Adams apple. Something that ocasionally cause a cough. Can this be caused by anxiety. I mean; it also felt worse when I was thinking about the moment where the family may get devastating news about the results fram my relative`s CT scanning. Please help out!
Anxiety causes lots of weird and wonderful throat sensations. And if you're coming down with a cold that will add to it.
Sorry you are stressed right now. When family is unwell it can really take a toll on your anxiety. Be kind to yourself. :hugs:

^ This. It's very common. It is always worth reading the symptoms to check it out and use it to counter evidence your thoughts.
It may also be the cold though or even a bit of both.
Getting a cold is the worst because you get actual symptoms of a real problem and not imaginary ones.
If you focus/dwell on one of the symptoms for long enough it will seem 10x worse than it actually is.
It is. It happened to me, just had to ignore it.

Happened to me. I walked to my first therapy session choking on the side of the road. Once I knew what it was, it stopped bothering me. Went away in the end. Still appears a little if I feel anxious about something, but I don't really care.
Not caring is the best thing to do if you can
