Anxiety and choking feeling

Posted , 2 users are following.

i have been struggling lately with anxiety and my stomach has been bloated and causes my throat to feel like im choking, that feeling also makes my anxiety go through the roof, im afraid I'm going to just stop breathing in the middle of the night, could this just be anxiety or something worse?

    hi Brandon

    the choking symptom was the one i suffer from at first it use to send my panic and anxiety through the roof but with a lot of reading up on anxiety and going to cbt i have learnt how to control it . I still get it from time to time but try not to panic i use my breathing techniques . You will get through this but it does take time

    Sounds like it's just Globus sensation which is common in anxiety sufferers. So long as you are not struggling for breath then you're fine.

      usually when my stomach is bloated i feel as if I can't breathe but my dr says that is just caused from my stomach pushing against my diaphragm

      I guess that males sense but if you get a bloated stomach regularly it's obviously going to cause you bother and be concerning. Have you asked the dr about what to take to reduce the bloating? I have used peppermint before we i have found good as a natural supplement.
