Hello new user looking for help with severe anxiety suntpms
Hello I just downloaded this in hope to find some sort of comfort. So in 2015 I started to feel a sort of tightness in my throat to were it seemed like I was unable to swallow, dry swallow only really, and felt like I was unable to suck in air. Tuesday of this week, I started feeling that same tightness I knew from my past. Now it’s been a few days and just seems worse. It makes me scared to even leave my room as I’m able to find moments of relief sometimes. I am really looking to see if anyone shares or shared my physical symptoms and what happened or what were the outcomes. My symptoms are a constant neck/throat tightness making it hard to look up and around. Also swallowing feels labored and painful at times. My mouth and throat feel dry no matter how much water I drink. I feel like there is a ball of something in my throat around where my Adam’s Apple is. I have been dizzy a lot of the day tired but restless all at the same time. My biggest worry is feeling like I can not breathe like my throat is closing and I can’t suck in air. Please if anyone has had similar feelings or anything if you can help me out or shoot some advice my way that would be appreciated.
