MORE HORRID SYMPTOMS!!!!

[LisaH]

Hi Pips,

Had it!!! exact same thing; just an annoying lump in my throat It came out of nowhere and left just as quickly; but I think it lasted at least a year. I had to carry a bottle of water with me everywhere I went. Then my sister got the same symptom. Don't be scared; it's part and parcel.

Take care
Lisa

hey Pips!

Add me on to the list of those with something blocking their throat! I have it right now the moment I am writing this note!

I have learnt that it is one of the most common symptoms.. but that doesn't help it much... what I've triedis water.. but then it just stays in my mouth since i feel that i can't swallow it and then i also have some herbal sweets, just to soothen my throat... you may want to try those... that way you concentrate on the sweet... sometimes work for me.

Was also wondering whether any of you have 'burping' fits. I know this may sound strange, but when i hyperventilate, my first reactionis to force myself to do little burps and clear my throat! It's so embarassing especially when i'm around people that don't know me well! I think the burping reassures me that I am breathing ( and haven't forgotten to!)!

Oh.. before I forget.. another thing that helps with the throat problem would be to sing out loud..... it has helped me tonnes.... (although not those who are next to me who have to listen!)

Take care,
Astrid

I have gotten this before, and for me it goes away shorty.
