Swallowing anxiety

I've been diagnosed with an overactive thyroid

It just started with mild anxiety.

When i started on the Carbimazole and propranalol this became more frequent.

Now i feel anxious 24/7. Sometimes I can cope but a few times a day i have to take myself away from everyone.

It's a constant nervousness. I expect it in a way because of the thyroid but I'm on meds and would expect to be feeling less anxious than i do.

I think what started as a symptom of the thyroid trouble has developed into a mental issue.

I have constant chest fluttering. It kind of feels weak. like my heart isn't right.

But my pulse is fine.

The worst thing though is the constant swallowing.

its definitely anxiety because it eases when I'm not feeling as bad and gets worse with stress.

I can eat fine and in fact when i do I forget about it.

I can find info on swallowing and a heavy chest feeling but not any experiences of people having it 24/7 for weeks.

Wondered if anyone else had experienced long term swallowing anxiety?
