    Absolutely. There are times I can swallow a pill and others I feel like it just won't go down. I too suffer from health anxiety and have read many posts that this is made worse from the anxiety. Try to hang in there knowing you are not alone.

    I do have throat sensations on and off. I hate when I have it because it makes my health anxiety even worse.

    Having anxiety by itself can induce throat symptoms, so it is nerve wrecking. It is also allergy season- that can also contribute. Not to mention hormones!

    Sorry you are going through this. Hope all this clears soon.

    Hey Pam, I think I had that years ago, is it Accompanied by trouble breathing.That may have happened to me because it made me anxious. Yes one day can BE good, the next day it’s like an avalanche 😉 also write on your calendar when you have more severe symptoms. I have noticed that when I am supposed to be ovulating which of course my body is not doing that because I post menopause, my symptoms are worse and when it’s supposed to be my. My symptoms are worse as well. I think the symptoms continue for years even though we’re not getting our periods and it’s because our body is still struggling to ovulate and still struggling to have a menstrual cycle because it did it for so many years before. I had a terrifying episode on May 14 of last year and then again on August 14 of last year, my heart felt like it slammed and stopped and I felt dizzy and like I was going to literally die. My pharmacist said that he thought my heart actually stopped beating that that’s what it sounded like. Now it’s important to say I had had a chocolate malt which must of had a ton of caffeine in it at both episodes, so there’s no coincidence there and it’s when my body was trying to ovulate. My pharmacist said that that even though I’m postmenopausal my body is still fighting to ovulate.

The most frustrating thing is that these doctors don’t know what they’re talking about, my friend is a professor at a university and has excellent insurance and she was treated the same as me who doesn’t have great insurance like the doctor was terrible. She quit going to him. And she said that she thinks women doctors are just as bad as medicine not worse. I for one have to agree with that because my female doctor was awful, clueless I quit going to her. I mean we’re better off on this for him then we are going to a doctors office. And it’s because men don’t bleed, men don’t birth and men don’t ovulate, meaning if this happened to men there what about a cure 100 years ago.

And it’s because men don’t bleed, men don’t birth and men don’t ovulate, meaning... if this happened to men there would have been a cure 100 years ago … I unfortunately had a latte today and when I have caffeine I can’t shut up...lol Are you taking any supplements for this, have you ever met with a natural path or a holistic doctor ... makes all the difference in the world. Just remember you’re not alone ! We are all in this sinking ship together, with our Dixie cups in hand 😉
