Sounds like you are having a anxiety attack to me. I know when I get one I feel like I cant swallow and food just dosent look or smell at all appealing to me.

The fact that your husband is gone doesnt help the situation either. I know when mine leaves town, my anxiety flares up and simple things become HUGE issues.

I would make sure you let your dr know how you are feeling and see if he can get you in just to make sure that you are not having a reaction. However, it sure does sound like an anxiety attack.

If you want to chat more, PM me. I have 4 small kids at home, so I can totally relate!

Good Luck
