Hi char

I have something similar which when I am very busy seems to disappear. The more I think about it the worse it is. It feels as if that little dangly thing that lives in the back of my mouth is hanging down my throat. I also get a tighness feeling on the front of my neck followed by a desire to swallow to relieve a dry throat. I am of the assumption that if it was anything dubious it would get worse with time. Mine comes and goes and is hear now as I am thinking about it. Have you been to the docs to check your tonsils etc.. I know that tonsilitus has been going around lately and can effect people differntly. I am sure you are worrying over nothing. I would try and get some liquid food down for now just to overcome the problem for now. Not eating will make your symptoms worse as you will not have the fluids and vitamins in you to relieve the symptoms.

Hope you get better soon.

Take Care

Hi Charlotte and welcome to NMP if you're new. I can't identify with the swallowing/choking sensation but like so many other people on here I know what it's like to suffer from panic attacks. Maybe a professional could advise you about eating. Meanwhile have you read the info on here about handling panic attacks? It's really helpful. Just click on "panic attacks" in the main menu column. All the best.

PS When i couldnt eat i tryed smoothies, made them myself with anything good i could get into them inc yogurt and cream (high in calories) and also complan, the chocolate one is the best. Just try and get any nourishment you can even if its only in tiny bits during the day, the body gets more anxious the less you eat as its natural response is to promote adrenaline to make you move and find food. Try vitiman supplements too.
