I keep feeling like I'm choking like my airways are closing up.. Like I keep coughing and coughing and I get myself in such a state like feel like I'm choking on my own spit its so weird. Is this anxiety why does it make you feel like your throats closing and tightening up :(

Hi there. I get this too and I know it may sound a bit bonkers but I find, if I sit upside down on the sofa with my head dangling where my legs would go sort of off the edge it seems to feel like it's opened up my airways a bit. It works for me. Hope u find relief cos it's a horrible feeling x

I've been dealing with the same sensation the last few months. It feels like you can't breathe and it seems to happen to me when I'm emotionally charged. It is scary.

But again, after reading your most recent post about your friend, it really does sound like that this is your reaction to that horrible incident. Almost as if you're carrying on his pain in that moment and fearing it happening to you. Our mind can react in funny ways to things. You're okay, dear. Follow the advice from my last post I have just written on it. :)
