    Emetophobia & Choking Question

    I apologise as this is not a nice question,

    I have emetophobia and I'm also afraid of choking. I think one of the reasons i'm afraid of choking is because my throat tightens with anxiety.

    One of the things that worries me, is what if i'm sick and then my throat tightens while it's happening and then I choke, or choke to death.

    Does anyone know if it's possible for my throat to tighten whilst I'm been sick?

    Hi..

    Without being too graphic. When you vomit, everything relaxes so it can come up easily. I doubt very much you'll choke.

    Panic attacks started in 1992. 1998 i became agoraphobic which lead into being room bound. Couldn't even get upstairs. 2002 i started getting better, able to drive and work. 2005 i became house bound again. 2009 i have been making SLOW progress, still not able to go anywhere alone, but my journeys are getting longer. No where near 'normal' but at least i can go out.
