    Hi I've been on sert for a few months now and feeling better. Recently I saw a therapist and she explained when anxiety and panic is increased you take more breathes and gulp/swallow more as the anxiety is making you breathe faster and you are swallowing for more air in your lungs. Which made sense don't know if this relates to you but you may found it useful x
