Blocked Throat
Posted , 15 users are following.
Hi ladies, I'm hoping someone can help me. I have recently started to have this strange feeling in my throat. It's like there is something blocking it - which there isn't. It's not all the time but when i do get it i feeel really, really anxoius. I am hoping this is another horribel symptom of peri and nothing more. I seem to be getting myself into a state these days about everything. I swear I have diagnosed myself with EVERY illness known to man. Any advice would be appreciated girls. xx

Aside from having your GP ruling anything sinister out, which most likely nothing is going on, sounds a bit like a bit of anxiety going on.
Seems like for some people, anxiety and sometimes depression increases a bit during certain phases of perimemonpause. Hypochrondria is another doozey that hits some of us. But most importantly, just have your GP to give you the all clear first and know that you are not alone.
There are many ways to reduce the anxiety levels, be it taking up Yoga, exercising, talk therapy, increasing your supplements and perhaps discussing with your GP some ideas that may help you. It has taken a variety of things for me to help myself curb the anxiety. Still in peri and not totally free of anxiety, but much improved over the past year.
Hugs to you!

The Possible Causes Of Lump In The Throat.
Cricopharyngeal spasm – a self-limiting disorder that resolves on its own. It occurs when the cricopharyngeus muscle (also known as the upper esophageal sphincter) starts to spasm instead of contract and relax.
It is the most common cause of the lump throat sensation.
These spasms are often made worse by stress and anxiety, GERD, or thyroid disfunction .
