health anxiety - aargh!

I know it's just a symptom of anxiety. I guess what I'm worried about is that the feeling is never going to go away.

Gingerbreadgirl, you know that if it's only a symptom of anxiety, then the tight feeling in your throat will go away if you handle the anxiety correctly.

When my throat gets physically tense, I can relax it by wrapping a hot towel or flannel around it. Have you got one of those wheat bags you can heat up in the microwave? The warmth is pleasant and soothing and quickly relieves the tension in my throat so that I can swallow normally again without scraping my tongue on my teeth. If you try that and if it takes away the lump in your throat, then you have broken the vicious circle. Repeat ad infinitum. Good luck!
