Hi, i have a feeling of strangulation in my throat and is worse when i lie down, i get a feeling of heaviness on my chest and find it hard to breath.
I have a feeling of a lump in my throat permanently day and night and swallowing food or fluid is a constant battle to keep down and when i get the strangulation/heavy chest feeling my chest flutters and i can feel my heart pounding.
My doc says its anxiety but i,m not worried about anything and no fear of anything, has anyone had this experience
Hi spectra,
I'm sure if you go back to your GP, he will do any tests to show why he think it's down to stress.
A doctor once told me about a friend of his that started having panic attacks after he retired. He couldn't believe he was having them because he had no stress. But it was because of the stress he suffered while he was a doctor came to the surface after he retired.
So we can be hit be anxiety after an event or when something changes in our lives and we relax.
