My biggest symptom

Posted , 7 users are following.

Does any one else's throat feel like it's closing in/tightening?? I get this feeling most of the time, I worry about it therefore causing panic attacks although I know it's probably only anxiety. But it's a horrible feeling. Any tips on how to ease it?? If only seems to go when I'm sleeping :-(

    hi cara,

    it is because the body is not relaxed so anxiety symptoms appear.  When you go to sleep the body calms down a bit and it stops hopefully.  Try controlled breathing exercises and see if that helps.
