Hello all I have struggled with anxiety since my late childhood and recently it got a lot worse than usual. I have terrible health anxiety thinking i'm going to die every other day.
For the past couple of weeks i was struggling with chest pains and breathing difficulties I was sure it was anxiety but still has that dread about a heart attack. It was honestly one of the worst weeks of my life i was constantly crying and just living on the edge. Yesterday i ended up taking myself to the ER to get checked and like almost everyone on here the tests came back completely fine. I had my bloods took an ECG and an x-ray to rule everything out. Everything was perfect so finally last night i had some relief knowing my issues were all in my head.. I was having a great night completely relaxed and happy until i started feeling something in the back of my throat this has stayed all today as well and earlier after i ate i actually thought i was choking :( I'm struggling so much with this health anxiety and i wish it would stop.
It kind of feels like phlegm in the back of my throat i've tried everything to get rid of it since last night but i think the more attention i'm paying the worse it is.
I guess i'm just wanting reassurance that other people get this and that i won't actually choke? I'm struggling at the minute and it means a lot being able to come here and talk to you guys thanks
