No hun it doesn't always burn and it can just come now and again! So people just get it once or twice a year others have it all the time. Ive got gastritis (inflammation of the stomach lining) im sick of the feeling somethings stuck in throat!!

If you're having a panic attack does the feeling come higher up in your chest?

I would say acid reflux / indigestion and no it doesn't always burn but does cause chest pain/discomfort and throat/swallowing problems

can anxiety / panic cause you to get indigestion? i do find the pain can start when am having or had a panic attack

Yes I think it can. I had a big panic earlier when out and I started getting chest pains which made me worse.

When I calmed down I started butting and getting gurgling in my throat.

What I want to know is can the acid or reflux give you pains in your throat? Like sharp pains?

this can be completely down to anxiety - i had exactly what you describe - it felt so tight i could not breathe - like i had been kicked and i had an endoscopy - nothing to see whatsoever and i did not get acid or anything like this - i had it on and off for 2 years. when i accepted there was nothing wrong and realised that i was also tensing my stomach muscles all the time - it went away.

i do now have reflux (diagnosed with endoscopy) and get the awful burning and tightness but it is different from the tension symptoms i had several years ago. if you have had lots of tests - try to just accept it as tension - it may feel uncomfortable but it cannot hurt you x

i do always get the burning feeling in my upper abdomen esp if i havent eaten much which i dont really due to loss of appetite from my anxiety and i feel that i have to keep swollowing 24/7 when i have this feeling in my upper abdomen and throat x:weep: i just want to eat normal again

you can still eat even though you feel uncomfortable - i have to eat every few hours otherwise my stomach feels worse but i know how awful it can be. all day it has felt like i cannot breathe!

yes i dont really like to eat when my stomach is feeling that way and as i have a phobia of vomitning anything up with my stomach i just start panicing and i think if i eat with a nervous stomach then i will vomit etc..
