[Cicinen]

I have a menthol feeling in my throat sometimes my whole body

Sometimes my body tingles and sometimes heat rushes down my legs

[Hidden]

Had it checked by a doctor?

[Cicinen in reply to Hidden]

I had a check up and the doctor said I was fine

[Hidden in reply to Cicinen]

Do you try to distract yourself when you feel it kicking in or do you just let it overwhelm you?

[Cicinen in reply to Hidden]

I try to distract myself but it doesn’t work

[Hidden in reply to Cicinen]

What do you use as a distraction?

[Cicinen in reply to Hidden]

Reading and music

Sometimes I bake

[Cicinen in reply to Cicinen]

I fear that I have GERD

[Hidden in reply to Cicinen]

How about you try something you have never done before, something that you actually have to learn so that you can do it.

Something new.

[Cicinen in reply to Hidden]

I’ll try that ... thank you sooo much

I get the whole back of the throat thing. I wouldn’t call my menthol, but I still get it. It used to be one of my worst symptoms with anxiety. For some reason I got to like the feeling and enjoy it...so of course it stopped. That’s anxiety for you. It wants you to be uncomfortable. Once your brain accepts that the symptom is anxiety, it tends to fade. I feel you though, anxiety symptoms try their dead level best to freak you out.
