Blocked throat feeling

[Nikkit622]

I always feel like i have something stuck in my throat and sometimes i feel like im choking on my own saliva or convince myself im going to choke on my dinner and stop eating even if im hungry ... i end up having a panic attack and feeling weak.. is this normal

It's called globus hystericus and it's a common symptom of anxiety, evrry week someone here reports having it. There is no blockage in your throat, it's just a feeling that you have a blockage. Agree to live with it without stressing about it and it will go away. If you obsess about it and start fearing it then it will stay longer.

Yes!!! Sometimes it hurts really bad to swallow. I keep peppermints by me because I feel like I’m choking on my own saliva too. I even had my dr look at it. Nothing. Just anxiety!
