Feeling like my throat is closing up

Hi Rachel18350

its possible you might be coming down with a cold or something.   I started with the same problem and now have an upper respiritory tract infection. Feel just the same as you described. Plenty of paracetamol if feverish and  plenty of water to keep you hydrated and help get rid of  that horrendous mucous. You probably feel a bit anxious because ypu are slightly under the weather and, of course having a period. Say no more. Hormones can do allsorts to the mind as well as the body damn things!! . Everything seems worse. Plenty of rest(if you are able) something to distract t you from overthinking. Not always easy I know. Its only a minor blip and hopefully as you pick up the anxious thoughts will lessen. X

maybe you just got a virus , its what everybody is catching

Okay.....I hope this helps but I started having anxiety attacks when I was 18...that was 30 years ago.......I suffered for 5 years....racing to the hosiptal with thoughts of panic and anxiety and thoughts of feeling like I was going to die etc......until a doctor told me a little secret....stop drinking...period, no alcohol at all.....it screws the body's chemistry all to hell and takes days to recover....stop smoking cigarettes, same issue,nicotins is a stimulant.....stop using artificial sweeteners of any kind, they create poisons in the body that are toxic and creates chemical imbalance......no caffeine of any kind, even soft drinks, the worst stimulant ever invented.....causes the heart to race and the nervous system to fire without proper stimulation.....watch the sugar intake, stimulant......use stiva or brown cane sugar.....don't use regular salt, use sea or pink salt.......throws the blood out of balance........watch how many carbs you eat every day because they are just pure energy that fires the body up and makes it pump adrenaline, then you get nervous and anxious............So I tried.....do you know how hard it is to give up luxuries like that?........I struggled for 5 years and then after a very bad night in emergency I wnet home and decided to try.......I felt like hell for two weeks and then one day I woke up and fell like I was waking up from a hangover.......I was sick for two days and then it got better.........I went into work and felt pretty good.....after a couple months I felt wonderful.......no anxiety, sleeping like a baby, I lost weight, I felt happy and relaxed.......it was the best I had ever felt in my life and I have never looked back....I found that doctor and thanked him....he said that when the human body goes through puberty the brain turns on this complex, massive chemical factory and we go from little kids with foul tempers to adults with foul tempers but with a body that is producing all these chemicals and hormones that are driving us to reproduce. Adding man made crap throws a wrench into that chemical factory and buggers the whole process up. It affects the thyroid(get that tested by the way, nasty issues when it goes wrong), the pituitary and the thymus....your heart becomes irregular and skips beats and you have panic attacks that make the irregular heart beat worse.......clean up the body and the natural chemicals come back into balance.......and read, read what can screw your body up and stop using it. Now it I want to relax I use THC tincture.....not enough to get high but enough to relax me and settle me down. I have even had the odd glass of port wine, note I said the odd glass.......coming home every night and getting drunk is the worse thing you can do because following a rotten nights sleep your body now tries to get back in balance and trust me it can be very nasty. I use the THC tincture because it was recommended that I have something to ease back with plus it is a real medicine that works in the body. I get a little drunk every once and a while and a little high once in a while but not on a continuous basis......once maybe twice a month. You have to get the body cleaned up and back in balance before you abuse it gently every once and a while. I't why meditation helps some people....they are balancing the body and quitening the chemical factory called your brain.......and for heaven's sake don't panic at every odd thought that enters your head or funny feeling your body experiences........check to see if you are getting a cold or check to see if you have allergies.......your symptoms sound like mild anaphylactic response to something.....I didn't realize I had a mild allergy to strawberries until one day the doctor sent me for allergy tests and there is was along with 9 other things and they all made me feel like you're describing.watch what you eat.......track everything.....get your thyroid tested, get allergy tests done and clean your body up.......and always, always consult your doctor when you make changes like this just so he can help and keep track with you......I hope this helps.......it's not a diagnosis nor medical advise, just something that worked for me and dozens of other people who tried the same life plan and are living happy and anxiety free.

i gave up drink , because a 5 hour op for PANCREATITIS  left half my internal organs in the waste bin.  dont smoke , dont each sweet stuff , and i feel no better whatsoever, so it depends on the person , sounds like you like a bit of weed if skunk that would have screwed you big time cutting out skunk saves your brain

I have a hyperactive thyroid problem it's been several years since I've took medication but everything that you put that you feel I'm feeling and it's been feeling like that for a couple of years everytime I get my thyroid checked they say that everything is fine something is wrong I feel at times I can't even breathe because my throat bothers me so much that I feel like it's closing or my glands are really swollen what should I do
