Hi, it's classic anxiety, I get this sometimes where I feel like I can't swallow and there's a vacuum or a bubble of air that is physically stopping me, or my body "forgets" how to perform the swallowing action, something which apparently never happens to Katie Price.

It is not nice at all. I find it happens every now and then, maybe once or twice, then disappears for a while. Stress and anxiety make it worse.
