I hope I am making sense with this.. I know a lot of medical conditions are just plain old anxiety and it could be all in our minds.. I know because its happened to me in the past however, in my instance, I have tried so so hard to ignore my probelm like it doesnt exist.. I have fought it BIG TIME!! And the symtoms are all still here!! If it was anxiety, wouldnt it have gone away by now?? I asked my doctor last week if anxiety could cause weird feelings on your body or feel like somehting is there and he said 100% yes as well as feeling like you cant swallow etc.. I can swallow THANK GOD!! But I have never heard of anyone with a sore throat on and off caused by anxiety.. Again I hope I am making sense. Would it be fair to say that I am not bringing this on myself or could I be or could I be making the pysical symtoms worse when thinking about it? Thanks again. You are all so wonderful here. kriss

Hi Kriss, A sore throat can definitely be part of anxiety, I know because it happened to me.

I had the throat problem for years, since I was a teen.
