I have this right now and it is horrible but I promise it will pass and it is just anxeity. I know its difficuklt but you have to try and relax a little or the feeling will just get worse (talking from experience!) I find having a galss of water with me helps so I can take little sips which seems to make it a little better.

Hope you feel a little reassured and better

I went through a phase in which I would for no apparent reason feel like I couldn't swallow. Of course, it never actually came to pass but the feeling is pretty scary. One thing I've learned over time is that my anxiety symptoms shift a bit. Manifestations that were common a year or two back get replaced with others. I refer to it as my anxiety's bag of tricks. Hang in there, this symptom will pass.
