Hi, I have been having anxiety for the past months. I started with pains all over my body and then muscle weakness and i still have the muscle weakness but recently I have started to feel like sometimes i cant swallow my own saliva and i panic and it feels like i cant suck my saliva in or produce any. I also have a lot of mucus that i spit out but it is clear mucus and doesnt have color. My jaw also feels like its weak and i dont bite hard. Just wanted to see if there was anyone who has had this feeling to and talk more about it.
