Hi Everyone,
I've suffered with panic attacks/anxiety for almost 8 years now. It did get better for a while (never went completely) but now it seems to be back worse than ever.
The symptom I'm experiencing now is that I can't swallow..It feels like I've forgotten how to do it. Theres no pain, but it feels like theres phlegm at the back of my nose/in my throat....
Over the last few days I've barely eaten, I'm even struggling to swallow liquids. Its as if I'm telling myself that I won't be able to swallow anything, then I have to try and fidget about or lean forward to swallow the tiniest amount of food or drink.
I have had difficulty swallowing before with my anxiety, but never this bad. The weird thing is that I was talking to a woman who used to have anxiety & she said her main symptom was "not being able to swallow anything". Surely her saying that can't have triggered this off can it???
I would really appreciate any help or advice
Thanks for reading
