probably anxiety related breathing thing

NAS80916

I’ve had this weird feeling in my throat like i’m mid-burp or my throat will close up at any second. I have a history of sparse anxiety attacks, and I am under some stress as of now.

honestly i feel like my throat tightness is causing my anxiety more than vice versa; I feel difficulty breathing and then I get worried that i’m about to suffocate. this has happened for a while now and I’ve been completely fine every time. is anyone else like this?

  • If you do become unconscious, your autonomic system will take over and you will begin breathing again. If your symptom is not a reaction to an unknown allergen, it does sound like it is anxiety related. If you breathe out more slowly than you breathe in (in for 2/3 seconds, out for 4/5 seconds) for a few minutes then a physiological response will ease your anxiety - the act of breathing out lowers blood pressure amongst other things.
