Thanks for the tips sometimes I do think I need to drink more water because I think I may at times get dehydrated but Ziggy I try to tell myself that I won't die but the thoughts that invade my self talk are that I will choke or I worry about allergic reactions or swallowing my tongue. But obviously I have to work harder on the self talk
I drink a LOT of water when it hits me, pray, and try to take slow, deep, belly breathes.
I also try to tell myself that I've never in all my life heard of anyone die from not being able to swallow. ROFL
I think I kind of know what you are talking about.
I often get this huge lump in my throat (during anxiety) and feel like I can't swallow. The more I concentrate on it, the worse it becomes and yet another viscious cycle.
I also begin to feel like I'm not getting enough air along with the choking sensation.
Isn't life great? rofl.
Okay I can deal very effectively with the 'unreal' feelings. The muscle tightness, chest pains, fears and blurred vision I can get over those fairly quickly too but what is really difficult for me is the feeling of choking. Lately I get this feeling of a coldness rushing in my veins and my throat closes off and I get this feeling in my chest (not a pain like heartpain) but a feeling that I can't swallow because my chest/stomach is blocked. I really can't eat because not only I don't have an appetite but I feel that its not going down properly and its getting stuck. Does anybody have any suggestions on how to get over this or what I can do?
