Re: Swallowing, could be my anxiety but I am not sure
It's always difficult to accept that anxiety can cause all these symptoms but it does, and I found that once I got over the hurdle of accepting this, I started to feel better and a lot of the symptoms disappeared.
I had the swallowing issue for years and like you I too lost a lot of weight. I could still drink though so would make milky meals that went down easily.
Has your doctor given you anything for your anxiety?
If you find you now have difficulties in drinking liquids you need to go back to see him as you could become dehydrated.
I understand that you're scared.
Go back to the doctor and ask for something for your anxiety.
Do plenty of research. This forum is the best place.
Try to keep yourself hydrated. Find foods that are easy to swallow and that appeal to you. I used to suck on squares of chocolate when nothing else would go down.
Stay in touch with thus forum. I've found so much help here.
