Since yesterday i have had a really weird throat feeling but today is a lot worse, i have never had anything like this before.

Today i feel really weak and hot, and i feel like i am a zombie, i also feel like i am alive but not breathing at all weird i know!

But this throat feeling, it feels like my throat is closing up, also feels like i have aload of phelgm keeps coming up to my mouth or something, and sometimes it makes my breathing sound weird and i cant seem to clear it and its really worrying me, i have never had anything like this before i feel like im really suffocating and choking and going to die or something, i dont think its anxiety thats causing this and i cannot get rid of it at all!

Hi Andrew,
sorry to read that you are feeling bad again.
If you read through previous posts you will find lots of them are about throat problems, breathing difficulties, feelings of being suffocated and feelings of something stuck in your throat.
It seems to be a very common symptom of anxiety suffered by many members on this site.
Take some time to read through them and hopefully you will find some comfort and advice, take care, kt x

Be gentle and you will need no strength, be patient and you will achieve all things.

I have had something similair before, but never had this feeling of my throat closing up or all this phelgm at the back of my mouth and in my throat!

I have it all the time at the moment. Feels horrid but there are 2 options according to my doc ...

1) accept it is anxiety and it will go in time
2) have a camera put down my throat to see if there is anything there.

Once he gave me option 2 I walked out and it went within a week. I have it again now cos I am a bit hassled and stressed but I know it will go again once I calm down.

Sometimes it makes me sick as well cos it is all bunged up with phlegm.

Look at my post here .....

If you are really worried then go to doc and ask for the camera down throat but personally I don't fancy it one bit!!

Hi Andrew

I have had the camera down my throat and it wasnt very nice! And it didnt really make me feel any better it just made me think oh well it must be something else!

I know how you feel and I hope you feel better soon

take care

Hi Andrew,

I used to get this a lot (sometimes still do occasionally). When I went to the dr about it, for once I got someone who was really understanding (!) and he actually told me that this is a recognised symptom of anxiety and it has a medical name (can't remember for the life of me what it is - sorry!). He said that even though it feels like there is something there, it's just the brain tricking you into thinking that.

It is really scary though and I conpletely understand what you're saying - not nice.

Be brave sweetpea and PM me if you get scared
