please tell me im not alone and that this is "commi on" lastnight i literally started suffocating like my throat closed on me. i choked. i couldnt swallow, it only lasted like 7 seconds but now i am shaken! im only assuming it was acid reflux bc i had some spicy thai food as well as an alcoholic beverage. please tell me in not alone!
you are not alone. I know of many people that I’ve had that happen to them. Sometimes it’s what you eat, a lot of times it’s anxiety because that is a common symptom of that, and yes acid reflux could definitely do that. Alcohol can contribute also. You’re gonna be just fine. do you normally have acid reflux? I am assuming you are young and for you to have anything serious relating to your throat would be very unusual. Just try to avoid that type of food for now and work on any anxiety you may have. Then you’ll notice a difference. Remember it was only one time and everybody gets something unusual happened to them sometimes just want to sometimes many times but 99% of the time it’s nothing bad. take care
yes i am young and new to anxiety as well as new to GERD, this throat closing feeling is scary. i will do my best to try to relax myself. i think i might be focusing on it too much now.
