Feeling off

[micaht2013]

Hey everybody haven’t posted in a while, I’ve been doing really good the past month or so with my anxiety but tonight all of a sudden I just have this weird feeling in my neck like a pressure that goes into my throat and ears, I know it’s most likely anxiety and I try to keep myself in the best train of thought but I also get freaked out, can anybody relate? Thanks

Hi micaht, it may have come from you bearing down on your jaw without

realizing it. The muscles get tight and can spread from your neck to throat

to ears. Don't focus on it, I'm sure when you got that feeling you when into

overdrive causing the muscles to tighten more.

Start some slow breathing, exhaling long and slow. Putting a microwavable

or hot bath towel right out of the dryer, around your neck and shoulders.

Sipping on a warm drink will also help the muscles to relax.

Breathe allowing your shoulders to drop away from your ears.

All this can help within moments. xx

I get a funny feeling in my throat a lot with my anxiety. It makes me think my throat is going to swell shut. It freaks me out at first, but then I kind of just get used to it once I realize nothing is going to happen. This has been going on for about a month for me. The feeling comes and goes.

I was actually getting on here to write a post about the weird feeling in my throat, and then I saw your post! It definitely makes me feel better when other people experience the same symptoms as me. Hope you get to feeling better!

hey, the pain of anxiety is the worse ever! i’m sorry you’re dealing with that. i also get weird pressure points when i feel an attack coming. mine lately has been breaking out in hives. try and relax and maybe use a heating pad to calm it. and i would

speak to the dr but def don’t look it up lol google is the worst !
