Hello All. Since summer I have been dealing with off and on aching throat pain that that doesn't go away no matter what I do. I even get an aching pain on my neck on the same side. I do have TMJ as well as just recently being diagnosed with gastritis, also suffer from health anxiety. So I figured it could be caused by anything. Recently however, I've been dealing with breathlessness and heart palpitations and of course when I googled (I know I shouldn't have) heart disease was something that came up alot with people recounting throat pain and breathlessness and now I'm scared that my throat pain and is more sinister than just dealing with TMJ or heartburn 😦 Any advice on throat pain or anyone experience breathlessness with Gastritis.
breathlessness and palpitations are the most common symptoms of anxiety. they will not hurt you and you can learn how to manage them .
YouTube has some really good short meditations for those symptoms. one is particularly good when you get kind of panicky. Search YouTube for something called stop panic attacks now, then scroll down to find one called don’t panic. She guides you through it and it’s very effective!
there or many other meditations for anxiety, sleep, etc.
relax your mind. and stay off google, you will scare yourself for no reason.
Your throat could be hurting if you are getting reflux from the heartburn up into your throat. GERD can cause breathless and lead to anxiety that causes palpitations. However all of your symptoms can be anxiety related. Have you had an endoscopy?
yes I had an Endoscopy in September and was diagnosed with Gastritis. I feel I have some many things going on it’s hard to pinpoint were all my systems could be stemming from. It’s so frustrating
