If it’s the sensation of a lump in the throat then I had this. It was due to anxiety. I had lots of tests and counselling to help me realise that anxiety was causing the sensation.
is there anything you find that helps? I’ve been getting a this sensation in my throat like a lump but also further down as food goes into my stomach like it’s getting a bit stuck. But it seems the more worried I am the worse it feels :-(
i found counselling helped. I'd have bet a million pound I'd got something stuck but I can assure you it was anxiety. It was when I was on holiday with my partners kids that I realised this. As I was concentrating on looking after them and not concentrating and worrying about myself I felt the lump sensation went away. Now when I get a bit of a tight feeling in my throat I think ah there's my anxiety .. go away and it eventually does. It doesn't affect me at all now but it took me a long time to train my brain to think like that. Ask me anything if you need too xx
Thank you so much for replying, I always seem to have something on my mind but triggered when my daughter got a sick bug. Possibly the thought of it spreading through everyone! But it hasn’t really gone since and now it’s constantly on my mind. I will take your advice and try to crack on wirh other stuff and put it to the back of my mind and see where it goes from there! With Christmas coming up this should be the least of my worries but I guess it all adds up! Thank you again xx
Yes try to stay positive. I have always and still suffer with anxiety. Try counselling, it certainly helps me. Anxiety is now part of my life like headaches etc. It comes and goes. Acceptance is the key and learning to manage it. You will have a wonderful Christmas and it's normal to worry about your poorly daughter. Try to relax. look up breathing exercises, try the app called calm Xx
