Hi Katy,

you have made a lot of threads about your throat and a lot of people have said exactly what im going to say- it sounds exactly like anxiety! you're extra worried about your throat and that's okay, I focused on my heart before and many people have that one symptom that doesn't seem like anxiety but actually is.

I've had a tight throat before, it felt like there was a ball in my throat. You probably have something similar but are experiencing it a bit differently. This is a common anxiety symptom.

If you're worried, please see a doctor. People have told you it's anxiety and it's still causing you to be extremely worried, and no one wants your worried! If the doctor says it's nothing believe them, as they would know if something was wrong.

Feel better and try not to think of it too much!

Ok. I had this. It was down to nerves caused by the dreaded Anxiety. I couldn't even swallow my food properly. So, what I did was only eat things that were easy to digest; anything sloppy. You will constantly check you body, look down your throat, ask others to look down your throat, then it will make the symptoms worse.
I would suggest that you need to just take time out to relax your body. Lie on the bed, put some fab music on, close your eyes and imagine you are on a tropical island. This will relax the body and the Mind. Keep doing this as much as you can and you will notice a change. Keep focused, try some Yoga and drink plenty of fluids, maybe some green tea. It will go away and it can't harm you. x

Hi. As others have commented, the symptoms you are experiencing are one of the many that anxiety creates. It's due to muscles tightening as you are so very tense. Try to relax, and understand this, the feelings you are having are perfectly natural and will not harm you. They are simply the body's reaction to having misread your thoughts and fear at a particular moment due to your nerves being over sensitive for a prolonged period. Accept them, and let them flow out of your body as you relax, don't try and force them away, only acceptance and relaxation will drive away these unwanted unpleasant feelings. Be happy.
