I am not a doctor maybe you should ask your doctor but it does sound similar to my weird anxiety symptoms.

It certainly sounds like anxiety. Is there anything you are particularly worried about related to going away?

Have you ever suffered from anxiety or depression before?

Hello……. It is very much anxiety , the throat closing is a sure sign. The symptoms are , I’m afraid, horrid and we can never believe what is happening to our body to feel so Ill. I have just had a huge batch of blood tests as I feel so poorly and are all clear.

Covid after affects make you feel very weak and lethargic too …. Your holiday is coming at the right time and once you are there you will feel much better . Good luck!

Thanks for replying I do feel awful so really hope it’s nothing and I can enjoy my holiday. I am anxious about leaving my dog, he is staying with my sister but has some health issues. Just hoping he is well.

Yes the feeling of your throat closing is a sure sign of anxiety. I suffer from all the physical effects of anxiety and this is one of the frightening one. Diversion tactics and mindfulness breathing is needed. Easy to say but it’s it’s hard to sometimes do when your mind is in panic mode.
