Anxiety or something serious?

Hey guys it’s getting really hard for me to tell weather it’s anxiety or something serious. I have a feeling that my throat is closing up every now and then and also have phlegm in there which does not come out! I feel that it hard to swallow my own spit sometimes for a moment I choke on it and get a deep butterfly churning stomach feeling. Any advice?

Thank you

Dealing with that now. It is most definitely a symptom of my anxiety. It’s just that once I remind and reassure myself that is what it is, it goes away shortly.

Yes for me it goes and comes so when it goes away I start having anxiety about when it’s going to come back. Thank you for clearing that up for me. It’s like an endless cycle

That sounds really scary. I have also had a feeling of my throat closing while I'm having panic attacks. It's awful.

In my research, I've read that it IS a symptom of anxiety. You are not alone!

It helps me to do deep, intentional breathing ~ to prove to myself that my throat is open & I'm not in danger... In slowly thru my nose... out slowly thru my mouth like blowing out candles.

It also sometimes helps to drink something cold, or something hot ~ to "wake up" my throat, & again, to know that it's open.

Be well!

thank you for replying. I can easy my mind a little knowing it’s just anxiety although it feels so scary at times. And yes I have just been drinking hot water to ease it which makes it feel better.
