throat problems

[joyce99]

thanks donna its just everytime i eat i feel everything going down and im nicking im aware of something feeling tight at the back of my throat and also when eating its a bit uncomfortable the more i swallow the worse it feels had blood tests just done a week ago im sure if something was wrong theyd no its just uncomfortable how do you get rid of this feeling and why the constant burping ithat cause my throat is tense or what as it feels like something is stopping the food and drink flowing from going down properly this is what is panicking me i was fine 2 days ago so surely suddenly something wouldnt happen that quick i do believe what your saying its just im worried and i no thts gonna make it worse as i now feel like im going to choke how do i stop swallowing so much as i think this is part of the problem i hope anyway

Just take your mind off it, the more you think about it the more you will swallow.

hiya joyce i understand your worry but it is not anything serious and because you are so anxious its making u feel worse, it wont go away until u relax completely if i was u have a nice bath, may relaxing music and shut your eyes and think and focus on something that has or would make u feel really happy, do this for as long as takes

throat problems like this are sooo normal for anxiety, you don't know it but you are tightening the muscles in the back of your throat and causing it to feel strange.

you will also get indigestion from being pregnant as well.

The only thing you may have done is irritated your throat and thats why it feels how you describe.

Ice cream will sooth it, it wont be anything dangerous.

make sure ya keep on eating though, and unfortunatly for this to go away you have to put your mind to something else. my cbt suggests reading and making sure you do a pleasurable thing every day even if you dont feel like it, also use a calendar and plan your weeks even if you write down 5pm : Washing dishes.

Give it a go, remember it's all about anxiety NOT THE SYMPTOM YOU HAVE.

GOOD LUCK

Hi Joyce, your indegestion is because you are very anxious when you swallow. When we are anxious we swallow too much air and this can give you the pain of indigestion. If you can feel your food going down its because you are not chewing it properly and maybe it needs to be smaller before you swallow it. Dont eat too fast. Small bites and chew slowly and wash it down with a drink.
