I wrote about this before but without the problem swallowing. But I feel like I have to contract my throat muscles. Kinda like when you have to pee and you squeeze those muscels. But it's my throat. If I don't, or I try to resist, I feel the urge to do it multiple times. I have done it so much, my throat muscels hurt. It has me stressed out. Sometimes, I have to do the same thing to my arm and calf muscels too. It's almost like an obsessive compulsion. My brother gave me one of his xanaxs. I just took half of it. If it helps, I guess I gotta get back on meds. Oh and I should mention, this started agan the other night when my step-dad was taken to the ER cause he was coughing up blood and was first diagnosed as having emphsyma and lung cancer but we found out last night it was just advanced emphsyma and lung damage from smoking and the fumes from being a car painter. So I guess I'm stressed out.
