Does anybody else feel as though they can't swallow and i dont mean just with food or drink i mean in general just watching tv or whatever and feel like i can't swallow just for like a split second i wonder if its an anxiety symptom as it isn't everyday or anything like that but its scary i wouldn't say i felt anything physically in my throat just feel like sometimes i can't swallow and also i have this horrible feeling of not getting enough air in like i have to force a yawn in its horrible ive done it for aslong as i can remember but seems really bad at the moment like im breathing from the top of my chest almost its very draining and makes me tired wonder if anyone can relate, thanks

    Hi Rachel, i am having the feeling of throat being blocked which is making me constantly swallow to try clear it . I can breathe ok, but have had times when i felt short of  breath. Try to slow your breaths and count to yourself as it helps you relax, anxiety makes it much worse.
