My greatest fear

It’s been years that I have been having panic attacks cause i thought that my throat was closing. When I eat in a new restaurant or something unfamiliar I get the fear that I’m allergic to something and my throat is closing. I have even lost several kg when I went abroad cause i wasn’t feeling safe to eat. Does anyone have any help?

I don’t have that problem of not eating or feeling throat is closing but I’m always afraid to the point where I actually think I hear someone is choking and have to run to save them. Of course it’s always just a cough or a laugh. It’s real to me. Even though all is well time after time I still must check because what if. The cause is anxiety. When I’m not too anxious this doesn’t happen. I am so sorry you are going through this. I wish for you beautiful peaceful times. I’m thinking when you feel it coming on, try some deep breathing. It often helps me.
