Panic Attacks Support Group

I have been having this problem lately. It feels like my throat is very tight and sometimes like something is stuck in it. I have also been nauseous trying to eat, which makes it even harder. Most of the time I won't even eat until I have to because it's such an ordeal. Don't worry yourself about it, it is panic. Your chest muscles get very tight during panic (even when you don't notice you are panicking), which then press against your lungs, diaphragm, chest, and throat area. If it really gets in the way of eating, maybe talk to your doctor about it. I don't know what they'd be able to do though. Hope I was of some help.

this is a very common anxiety problem, sometimes examination and reassurance from a throat specialist that all is OK helps a lot
food should be chewed slowly then if distracted you will swallow without realising it

some with this fear of choking have to put all their food thru a blender

I've had this a lot lately - have even lost some pounds due to feeling this way and I thought it was just me - makes me feel a bit better knowing other people feel this way
