Cant swallow sensations AGAIN!
I get those sensations as well.I suffered so bad with them yrs ago and then slowly but surely i started to feel normal again.But recently I had a panic attack and now I am getting all my symptoms back and I am getting very discouraged an d depressed again.I have all these emotions and it all end swith frustration cause I thought I had it beat.But my biggest problem is that I feel like I cant catch my breath and I have the biggest lump in my throat.I m so anxious now all over again and I m overthinking everything.I a going through the program rite now.I just have to stay positive

Wow! What a gorgeous picture of you, so pretty!!!
I took a look at your posts on the swallowing and just out of control feelings with your entire body and mental coping. First let me say I am sorry you are going through these episodes "right now"...
I did the program in 1999 and to be honest i was so mad at Lucinda because i did not feel like she felt and I resented her for being normal again. Is'nt that silly. No, it's not, when a person is going through this peaked anxiety parts of their life we will do practically anything to get relief and to get our life back. That said.
I fully recovered and have felt wonderful for the past 8-9 years. Have had ups and downs. Continue to have scarey thoughts on occasion but give them no power. Recently my boss wanted to talk to me and I knew i was in for a butt chewing. I anticipated the talk all day because I respect her so much the stress was building up. Finally at the end of the day she pulled me in and began lecturing me. It was not about anything I had done wrong moreover, she just wanted my opinion about something. However, as I sat there the enclosed room, closed door, what if thinking and finally those dreaded anxiety feelings of old returned. I was shoked at how quickly I remembered those nasty thoughts, feelings of hopelessness andout of control I just wanted to get out of that darn room.
I was fine we ended the talk and I went on about my way. However over the course of the next several weeks I began fearing an upcoming plane flight, more meetings, feelings of depression so i ordered the program again because I really just needed to review.
I noticed Lucinda's husband passed away and dont you know I was thinking how she must be at a challenge in her thought process and perhaps a feeling or two of "will my anxiety return". Of course it could but likely, it will not. Even through the toughest time of her adult life it is likely she will do just fine, be very devistated but anxiety free. Why? How could this be? Because she knows that life is not fare, unexplained things happen to the most innocent and best people out there...they just do. It sucks.
But at no time during my period since I got the program back and at not time during Lucinda's process she will endure will either of us allow to think NEGETIVELY. And that Holly is what is causing your symptoms. Not the drugs, not the fears, not the swallowing and your going to die...Your NOT! You are not going to die in fact you are going to live a long beautiful life free of anxiety forever.
And here is how. Just simply be focused and I mean really focused Holly like you have never focused before in your life. Each time you start to think even the smallest of negetive thought. Stop it, ask what made you think that, dismiss it as not who you are and move pleasantly forward through it. Replace it with a positive thought. In just a few short hours, days you are going to be less anxious and less fearful.
Take a look also at what your eating and drinking. Absolutely NOOOOOO coffee, tea or any sugar and less carbohydrates at this time. You are way over stimulated right now and you need not add those products to your system furthering your nervous system to respond.
Calm down, meditate, make smoothies for yourself so you can maintain your nutrition until your throat muscles subside from the nervous episodes you are elevated with. You do not have acid reflux, your stomach is nervous because of your worry. Worry is negetive thinking and you have got to get ahold of that.
That is enough for now, but if you would like to email me personally we can talk more. I know for sure one thing! There is no way a beautiful person like yourself could be dying- look in the mirror, you are a picture of health vibrant in life and eager to live a prosporous existence. Reality is waiting for you to return, just turn it back on and you will be there with us again, nothing has changed.
Relax Holly

Holly,
I totally agree with RMENURSE8. The positive thinking is definitely a major key in this anxiety yukkiness. I grateful for Lucinda's program as it is teaching me how to turn my negative thinking into positive. Very important.
Have you found an herbalist yet? If you don't want to go that avenue, you might check out Amazon.com and look into books that discuss hormone issues in women, thyroid gland issues, anxiety, cortisol, adrenaline, and other health related issues for women. Read up on it. You might find answers to some physical issues that will complement the negative thinking issues that you are going through.

Hi Holly, sorry you are having this!
I have had this a lot over the past 2 years and just finally got a scope done to test for problems in my lower throat area.
My diagnosis was that I definitely have acid reflux which is causing all my problems in that area and it wasn't anxiety related.
I still haven't found a medication that helps a lot for it yet, so I still feel that way a lot (choking, something stuck) even though I can swallow just fine.
It may well be anxiety, but if you are still concerned, getting it checked could only help you feel more secure.

Thank you all for the kind words. I know it is my anxiety causing this. . and im sure my anxiety made me get acid reflux too so any little discomfort I freak out over. Just been having a hard time. I got a blood test to check everything and they said everything came out normal.Including my thyroid. . I dont know if i should get another one that goes more into my thyroid.? . .
