I think those of us with anxiety get normal stuff like acid reflux (millions have it) and stuffy head and nose, and ear pain, BUT when we get normal stuff our anxiety sees it as dangerous and it shoots us into panic mode 24/7 -which then makes the illness feel worse and the anxiety feel horrible. It's a vicious cycle of oversensitive thoughts. Yes, I hate it Can you take some over the counter cold and acid meds to see how they help? Breath and know you are OK, normal, and it's that f-ing anxiety causing our misery. Peace.

It's not like when your getting a cold it's like a build up of pressure in my ears and sides of my neck.I am on omeprazole for the reflux for 3 months then my Dr said she will review it.

This with the lump in my throat comes and goes all day every day really getting me down I tell myself if it was something serious then it probably wouldn't come and go but my anxious mind tells me it would .

yes indeed it can! I suffer exactly this. Acid reflux and the shoulder pain more than likely is tension. I get the full feeling in my head and ears. I've been known to take flu plus pills thinking I am coming down with something only for it to be gone the next day. Sit back relax and let yourself feel stuffy
