GERD and anxiety symptoms?
Posted , 2 users are following.
I struggle with really bad throat issues and the main symptoms will be tight throat, mostly food feeling stuck on the side and I would panic when I finish eating food that feels like the food is stuck inside my throat, I ate some pizza today and I know I chewed about 20 times before the food randomly went down my esophagus and I swallowed it not even sure if I chewed it well enough since the bread on the back of the pizza is pretty thick. I'm so anxious right now since I'm not even sure if I finished chewing on the pizza. I'm not choking, I can still drink, talk and breathe, but I'm only feeling the sensation that food could be stuck and my health anxiety is making the symptoms worse. Should I be concerned about this? I'm not sure what I should do. It feels like the food is stuck on the right side of my throat. I drank some water that's going down my throat and I didn't cough it or anything, this happened a few times before already.

Hey there,
I used to get this all the time and doctor would say it was acid reflux but the medicines they gave me never helped.
Finally, a dietitian suggested it might be lack of acid and told me to take some betaine, after 2 days I was fine and have been ever since. Maybe it's worth you asking a trained dietitian about this.
Good luck!
