try and stay calm.

When you are anxious, it can cause your throat muscles to tighten, making it feel as id it were closing or hard to breathw or swallow. You might be taking too much air in, which would make it feel like you cannot breathe. You have to slow your breathing. Iodine helps stabilize quick heartbeat. Just do not take much. A few drops in water should help.

Sorry, did not know. It is true, iodine has its effects, so you ars right.

Hello everyone. Thankyou for all your replies. I did end up calming myself down lastnight I just get myself in a state because I just got a phioba of death and think I'm going to die. Today I took 2 propranolol there 10mg each so not that strong but I gotta take another two soon, it actually has helped the palpatations the propranolol I wasn't going to take them as I'm scared they will stop your heart but I just can't take no more how I'm feeling All take care xxx

Thanatophobia. I used to have thay when I was younger. Now I have enetophobia, which is the core of my anxiety and has, more or less, been the reason for my other symptoms.

What is thanatophobia and emtophobia? I started my propanolol today have to take 4 tabelts everyday there only 10mg but i think it's to stop the palptations and to slow my heart rate down but it hasn't

Thanatophobia is the fear of death. Emetophobia is the fear of being sick. Which is what I deal with.

It's all anxiety. I'm glad you were able to calm down dear. The throat closing and lump in the throat has been my latest ordeal in battling anxiety. It can be scary! Just do as your doctor says and BELIEVE that it will help calm things down. I know it is harder said than done. You will get through this!

I can relate to this so much. I have a high level of anxiety and occasionally have panic attacks. I constantly feel like Im having heart problems, like my throat is closing up and I won't be able to breathe, my chest feels so uncomfortable like a giant weight is sitting on top and crushing ever bone in my body. Just today I started feeling like my throat and chest were in serious trouble and I constantly ask my mom why why why. She has gone through panic attacks and anxiety so she knows exactly what Im feeling. She tells me that its just all the tension in your body from worrying and getting anxious. She says to do yoga stretches and belly breathing. I keep trying to tell myself that everything is fine and that Im not dying but my anxiety totally ignores what Im saying. I feel hopeless sometimes and it sucks, but know you aren't dying and that every things okay. Message me if you ever need someone to talk to. xx
