Stress!!

[Sandie1]

At the moment I am going through quite a lot of stress. I wake up.in the night feeling as tho I cannot swallow. Is this panic attacks or PBC. Does anybody else have that feeling?.

Have you mentioned this to your doctors? Sounds like the anxiety my mother experiences.

Sounds like anxiety. I went to my doctor with this symptom and she prescribed something for anxiety and now I feel better during the day and sleep through the night

Hi Sandie1

Can you see the doctor and get him to check your throat. If your mouth (and eyes) are very dry this could be Sjorgens Syndrome. Many people with PBC have dry eyes etc.

Stress is our enemy and it is best to find ways around it if you can. Medication can help but I am not great with the GP so did not go to her. Following the webinar that the PBC Foundation organised earlier this year and taking the advice I found guided meditation from You Tube helpful. I listen to Jason Stephenson as I like his voice. The webinar sessions can be found on the PBC Foundation web site in the members section.

hope this will be of some help to you.

best wishes

Hi

If you can eat food normally without this symptom during the day and your appetite and weight are stable then It does sound like an anxiety symptom ..

if u live in the U.K You can self refer to talking therapy online or ask your gp for referral

You could benefit from a strategy to manage this and psychological therapies are good with support.

i would advise you to have early Intervention rather than waiting as a good sleeping routine is really important for good health

I hope this helps

Good luck x
