afraid of swallowing food

[eightieschild]

hi i havent posted for a year or so but my anxiety is back! i have a terrible fear of choking when swallowing, if i automatically swallow when im not ready i panic and stop the food from going down which feels like im going to choke.i do chew my food so well that its mush, can a person choke on mush??? :( i also am hypoglycemic, so if i dont eat i get real faint, shakey and black out. Any advice out there????

It's not possible to choke on mush unless you actually inhaled the stuff, and even then it would probably only be more like when you drink water and it goes down the wrong way.

Maybe just try some soups for the next few days to keep your blood sugar levels up and then move on to soups with small pieces of veg or meat, etc and go from there.
