HI sharon, this is just one of the many side effects of an anxiety attack, i hate it and like you i keep swallowing to check on it. i use my rescue remedy spray which seems to help. sam x

I forget the medical term but it's a very common sign of anxiety, the lump in the throat.

I used to get it almost every day back in 2006 but it slowly disappeared and I very rarely have that sensation now.

Thank you for that its reassuring to know its a symptom of anxiety.I only get it when anxious x
