Hi guys,
I've had anxiety on and off for years. Most recent have been swallowing problems although i've had them under control pretty well for a while. Then, a few days ago, I found myself concentrating on swallowing and now I can't stop swallowing and it's driving me berserk! I can't sleep and I'm finding that I'm even thinking about it when I try to do relaxation cds. As soon as I notice it, it kicks off palpitations and I'm feeling pretty sorry for myself.
It's a bit of a stressful time at the moment - my wife and I are starting IVF treatment next week and it's hard going. Also, i'm doing a PhD and a certain amount of stress goes with that.
Can anyone offer any advice or reassurance that this might go?
