its possible you might be coming down with a cold or something. I started with the same problem and now have an upper respiritory tract infection. Feel just the same as you described. Plenty of paracetamol if feverish and plenty of water to keep you hydrated and help get rid of that horrendous mucous. You probably feel a bit anxious because ypu are slightly under the weather and, of course having a period. Say no more. Hormones can do allsorts to the mind as well as the body damn things!! . Everything seems worse. Plenty of rest(if you are able) something to distract t you from overthinking. Not always easy I know. Its only a minor blip and hopefully as you pick up the anxious thoughts will lessen. X

I loed your advice and wanted to know what you thought about my situation?
Three weeks ago, waking at 6am for an early shift at work, I choked on a blob of toothpaste. Seriously! A whole chunk exploded in my throat, reacted with the saliva, and i couldnt even breathe through my nose. It went on like this until i was on all fours and gasping for air. I almost blacked out and i swear i have never felt a panic like it. Then two weeks later i am waiting in a chuch on my friends wedding day an i have a heart palpitation, then sweaty hands, ringing in ears. the whole works. i feel short of breath. now this is happening every time i eat anything my whole throat closes over, i burp gas after eating anything i can manage, i feel so tired, dizzy. The docs are saying i am not short of air i just think i am and that i need to try eat little and often. i intend to give up alocohol for life, apart from a one beer on a sunny day rule. no more. as i know i can do this. i am also switching to one decaf coffee a day and triying to reduce chocolate portions and smoking too. i suppose i just cannot accept that i am anxious. i just want to feel normal the way i did 5 days ago! Any advice you have would be great x

I have similar symptoms. It started a year ago with a lump feeling in my throat. I had some chest pains as well. I've been to doctors who keep saying it's just indigestion and put me on PPI's. I've even been to hospital on 3 occasions,who did blood tests, chest X Ray, ECG (I've had palpitations as well 😩). I've now got an endoscopy booked in a couple of weeks. But I am petrified. I've convinced myself it's something serious, as I had chicken a couple of weeks ago and felt the meat travel all the way down my oesophagus,no pain but now I'm struggling to eat,feel I'm forcing my food down my throat. I'm focusing on every mouthful. Mouths dry. I know it's irrational but I can't stop,this is going to be a long 2 weeks!x

Hi James I think your mom would know best. I am sure all is ok. Sometimes the more you think about things the worse things seem.
If you are still unsettled by it all ask your mom if she can take you to the doctor just to put your mind at rest
