Difficulty Swallowing

[jmb14]

I went through the program about a year ago, and it helped reduce my anixety but not get rid of it. Since about April, I have started having trouble swallowing when eating or drinking. Especially around co-workers. Sometimes just talking with people I need to start spitting into tissue because I feel my throat is stuck and I will choke if I swallow. I have never really had this issue before. I don't really have panic attacks anymore, but I know I still get anixous at times but work through it. I went to my doctor and he says to try taking Zoloft. I have been off of it for years, but I have been struggling eating and drinking for months. Has anyone had this issue or can offer any advice? I don't really want to take the Zoloft due to fear of side effects, but has anyone taken it for difficulty swallowing and have it work?

Could it be a dry mouth? Maybe Keep water a bottle handy to sip on and ask or maybe give thought to what your afraid of.
I assume the Dr. saw no physical reason that may be agitating the issue.... There is a reason, any idea of what triggers the feelings?

Good luck.
