So currently I am dealing with a lot of anxiety that is mainly caused by the anxiety symptoms itself lol. But for past 2 days I've been doing pretty well.
One of my main symptoms atm is constant pressure in my ears (im assuming thats due to tmj) and the feeling of pressure in my head that comes and goes. I know they are anxiety related so there's that, but they are still very annoying.
Anyway I also keep feeling like there's a ball of air stuck somewhere on the top of my throat (like between my mouth and nose) that I am not able to exhale - its a bit easier if I exhale through my mouth but it constantly feels like I am holding it in. I am doing meditation & mindfullness exercises but I still find it very difficult to get rid of it. My doctor has told me that I apparently hold in a lot of air in when I'm anxious so i know that is the case, I don't know however if the feeling of this air stuck in my throat is just a feeling or actual air I'm holding in.
Anyway I was wondering if anyone gets this feeling as well and if anyone has any tips on any specific breathing exercises/meditation techniques idk even yoga lol that could maybe help this?
EDIT: I tried googling it and it keeps taking me to medical related websites/forums which I don't want to go on not to trigger my HA so if anyone could help it would be great :) Also I don't think it's acid reflux, at least it doesn't feel like that.
