Does anyone feel tightness in throat like a choking sensation and feel like if throat is closing up
Posted , 4 users are following.
I have had numerous CT scans and neck CT and was seen by a cardiologist. I experience a dizziness where i feel like i will faint and pass out, i also experience shaking vision like heat wave like and shaky vision.
I also feel like my left side of my head, arm and foot feel weak and also feel like if my left foot is shorter and feel like if I am dropping towards my left. This also happens I feel a tightness in my throat like my throat muscles tightening and feel like if my throat will close up and get a choking sensation. I have been suffering from health anxiety and got GERD, but my doctor prescribed my prozac but it also gives me acid reflux and makes my GERD worse, and i also noticed the prozac seems to make my anxiety worse at times, and I was given clonezpam to use until prozac kicks in, but sometimes prozac seems to make my anxiety worse and then i have to use the clonzepam and im trying not to depend on the benzo too my much.
I have been to several doctors at the ER and also my family doctor who said I dont need to see a neurologist since I saw one 15 months ago who did a non contrast MRI and everything was normal, the only problem is i was never experiencing most of symptoms then i was suffering from dizziness unbalanced feeling and headaches. However they said my ct scans and their physical assessment they don't think i need to see a neurologist again that MRI wasnt done long ago and the CT scans are normal, they said its all anxiety. Does anyone with anxiety experience these symptoms?

i am not a health professional, so can not advise but thought to share my personal experience (as that is similar to yours) if that may help you. i had all of the symptoms as you have mentioned and mri for spine, ultrasound for neck and ct scan for brain was done. but nothing came out in reports so, doctors said it was all due to stress and so i started taking stress medicine. but my throat pain, neck pain, headache, gerd symptoms, sometimes swelling too, tingling and burning sensation on left side of body from head to toe and many more did not decrease. after trying everything doctors said to do for four years at last i took a chiropractor appointment and got x-ray done for my spine. he said there was smth wrong with my spine near neck. at present i have taken 3 sessions of spinal decompression and spine adjustments and laser therapy each. i am starting to live a whole new life.
wish you a good health. 😃

Stress and depression can cause a lot of different physical symptoms , me my face gets this burning feeling then gets numb. my legs get weak sometimes, you can get pains all over the place, the feeling of falling, some people get this brain fog that makes you feel like your not really in your body but just looking out your eyes, I get that it's weird. My mouth tremors and sometimes I bite my tongue in like a spasm my mouth just decides to close by itself.
