Right now I was sat and suddenly felt like half my throat swelled/closing I could feel it moving like a tight nine I had been laid down listening to music it feels like below my tonsils is all swollen up like a round ball kinda like a massive air bubble and also where my Adams apple would be so I thought and my heart started to race because the feeling was/is horrible and I really belive my throats closing up as I say I was chilled listening to music haven't had panic attack for months ! Then I start shaking my heart slows down but still shaking still feel like somethings in my throat iv drank loads and nothing just feels my drinks hitting something !! Also my partner has now gone and say in the other room and had ago at me I'm freaking out what's happening I'm scared I'm allergic to something and dint know about it and my throat swelling up
Steph it's a panic attack hun deep breath's u will be ok it will pass I promise you! Try and get your mind of your symptoms do something to distract yourself hun xxx
Laura it's not honest I'm not even having the breathing thing it's like a fast heart rate and shakes and throat swelling xxx
It sounds like ur thriod to me, u should really have it looked at. And Thriod problems can cause panic and anxiety. Something worth asking the dr to check. A simple blood test and confirm this. Good luck.
Iv had it checked and it's always coming back good 😔
Now the fast heart shaking has stopped I had the pull back feeling in my throat my breathe felt took and a thump thump twice in my ear ! My throats still tight but more all the way round now has a body had this ??? Getting really worried again ???
you are panicking about these feelings which adding to them and causing you more tormentor need to try to calm down not to wonder why this is happening accept this and try not to worry about it why don't you put your coat on and go for a walk it may help you calm down also try and have something to eat if you haven't eaten for a few hours
I was just told today by my ent doctor that there's a ring at the bottom of throat and when we are stressed it contracts making it feel like you have a lump or feel like your gonna choke. Its normal to feel this under stress. Its called globus sensation.
Tony is so right I didn't eat for months and became underweight for fear of choking because I was highly anxious was in constant torment and I felt like the food would just get stuck
Did it get better for you Kristina?
Eventually but it took time I was given for tips to build me up and when I left hospital I had to cope with the everyday things as long as my recovery plus I was on a diazepam withdrawal programme the last thing I thought I could do was swallow food but in time I started with porridge then soups and now I eat regular balanced meals everyday excercise really has helped me because it calms me down and makes me hungry it's only early stages but I'm hopeful thanks tony
Thanks for your reply a the feeling just randomly came back it happened just below my "Adams apple" this time not at top of throat like last time and my heart races and went palps ect for the 10 seconds I felt this sensation then dissappeard so confused I have been having a lot of tremors N muscle twitching so I'm scared it's my throat twitching or contracting I guess I'm fuelling it iv had the tight strangle feeling before but this feels like a golf ball or air bubble sticks down my throat ??
Hi Steph I am sorry to say but I think you maybe overthinking this you really do need to distract yourself you are adding fuel to it I know it's not easy I've been there you must try and calm yourself take are
I had been worrying about my breathing lately, and last sunday I had 3 panic attacks in one night, feeling as if theres a lump (or obstruction) in my throat. I have been constantly worries since, tried going out with mum to the supermarket but couldn't handle it, I managed to pull through by just telling myself I survived this long so nothing is going to happen now. Everytime I go out I feel uneasy and as if I'm not getting the right amount of air. At night I feel the panic attacks coming and just start breathing slowly telling myself I don't need big breathes, and then tend to beat em. It is very scary and I haven't been college for the last week, I've tried going out and I'm just not ready for it. This anxiety is constantly on my mind and I can do nothing to subside it. I'm taking propanalol 10mg 3 times a day and flouxetine 20mg once a day and I'm on my 5th day. I'm only 16 and I'm determined to get rid of this and back to college (which I enjoy). I have to force myself to eat and it's like my body is rejecting it. I know exactly what you mean but trust me it's completely harmless, it's just a sensation, nothing else.
