does anyone else get the feeling that someone is choking them? i have this tightness in my throat almost constantly (along with anxiety constantly) so my dh says it's the anxiety. Sometimes when it's really bad, i can't help but feel like my throat is closing, which kicks in anxiety, etc. does anyone else have this or other strange symptoms?

This has been discussed many times on the board. Here's some panic info that has a list of symptoms: http://www.adaa.org/GettingHelp/AnxietyDisorders/Panicattack.asp

Yes, when my anxiety is up, that is exactly how I feel!

Your not alone! I am like this most of the day. I do get some moments of relief tho. It's the anxiety for sure....

jan is right. its known as globus hystericus. Fancy phrase to say lump in throat. Sometimes the feeling is so strong that it can give the feeling of being unable to breathe. It can also cause weight loss because of the feeling of being unable to swallow. Although intense and frightening rest assured that it is your anxiety and nothing to be worried about. I have the same issue from time to time.
