Stressed out on what could be the result
Posted , 2 users are following.
I have both anxiety and acid reflux, I went to the ER when I had sensations of food stuck and throat pain, got checked out without no x-rays or scope and they told me if something big how the food I was describing was lodged into my throat, I would be choking by now and would have to arrive in an ambulance. The food I ate that day was pizza, but the pizza was pretty thick to eat. They said my oxygen level was normal at 99, but I have severe anxiety disorder and I'm still worried something could be stuck inside, I'm really anxious right now and don't know what to do. I'm now having swollen lymph nodes on the lower part of my jaw, both sides that appeared a week or 2 later. I spoke to my doctor about this and he doesn't think it has to do with the food possibly stuck in my throat, since the swollen lymph nodes would not appear weeks later and thinks it's something else, should I trust him and stop panicking so much? I've always been a healthy person so I'm really worried. I'm getting checked out today by an ENT and hoping it's not food stuck in my throat, even though I could eat, drink and talk.

yes trust your doctor. You’re over thinking this. That’s a common trait of people with severe anxiety. It’s important to be aware when you are over thinking.. When you are aware of that you can work on toning down the over thinking. your doctor has most likely seen many other patients with the same issue. They know what to look for. anxiety can make you believe things that are not true. Be aware of that. Take care
