Andrew, I have had the exact same symptoms! I always blame it on the use of antihistamines (allergy medicine) but it could also be anxiety! In any case, I find that I always have a bottle of water AND gum or hard candy. It's not a solution for anxiety, but it sure makes the symptom much more bearable!
Congrats on your accomplishments and Best Wishes in your recovery!
Help with an anxiety symptom (unable to swallow)

Hi I find that if I do naything that involves a lot of stress(Live in snow country)like shoveling, which I have had a lot do lately, that it effects my whole right side and at times my throat gets tighjt that I get coughing fits.
I should be in week two but last wseek with the weather it has kept me busy. more than i carefor. Yesterday I took out a friend, who cannot drive anymore, to run some errands, She slipped on the ice and went down before I could grab her arm. Even with the help of a bystander we could not get her up. Finally someone went into the store and got two men to help.
Later that afternoondriving home I started gettin the weardiest feeling throghout my body. The heart started in, the chest started getting sore, I wasn't sure if I was still here or not. I have never had that type of feeing before. It took awhile before I calmed down but the heart was still going jujst not as fast. I was sore all over by later that night. Soaked ikn a hot tub for a while.
Tried taking some medicine, for muscle spasms, that was prescribed for something elese,not related. won't do that again. They kept up most of the night.
I understannd that Lavendar is very good for soaking in. It helps pull some of the tension out of the body. If you can find just the lavender, try a bubblebath with lavendar in it.
I listen to the relaxation
tape more than the other right now.
I often wonder if my dog senses these attacks. There are times whn he is under my feet constantly.

I am so sorry that I misunderstood your post and don't mean to accuse you of doing something that you are not doing. I hope you forgive me. I have been on a strong dose of Seroquel and ask my doctor to cut back. I also have a swallowing problem that can be caused by the meds or allergies so I try to drink plenty of water. Or it could just be anxiety and needing to relax. It sounds like you are resolving your own problem. Great Job!!!!

I didn't think you were accusing me of doing anything, Amanda. I just couldn't understand what you were on about. I figured you answered the wrong one or just scanned the first paragraph or something. People do do that. Yes, I think I have plenty to go on now.Originally posted by AMANDAJ:
