Sometimes when I’m really anxious I feel like I can’t swallow food right. And I can’t breathe. Most of the time my heart rate is through the roof! I’ve felt like I’ve choked before from being anxious. I tremble too sometimes. I hope this kind of helps. I just try to remind myself that I’ve felt this before. This is just anxiety and it will pass.

I used to get this too. It is worth geeting checked out of course just in case... However, for me it was normal and my father-in-law it is normal too. If there is an argument between the kids at the dinnger table... he cannot swallow his food and is often sick later

Does this happen often? If it happens often, it is worth getting checked out by a doctor.
