    I do all the time. Somedays worse than others. Sometimes I even dry heave because of it. I have to chew so much gum, so that just part of anxiety.

      Mine is every day. Started 10 days ago I also have to feel like I need to clear my throat but it's not going anywhere such a strange feeling. I have very dry mouth in the morning's.

    Yes, I asked a doctor I worked with, he said it was called "globus hystericus" 

    I thought I had a throat tumor. It's purely anxiety related. Funny how anxiety can effect almost every part of your body.

      Well the body and mind are connect.  What ever ills the mind, ills the body. Whatever ills the body ills the mind.  Finding balance is important.
