Ive been experiencing extreme anxiety for the past couple months and since the anxiety spiked, i have been having trouble swallowing, not all the time, not when i eat or drink really, but when i like finish eating and have (i know this sounds gross) but the extra saliva, and in the car when im really anxious my mouth gets slightly more moisture, you know a little more saliva, and it becomes rather difficult to swallow. Is this a symptom of anxiety? It started with my anxiety spike so im assuming thats whats happening, anyone else experience this?

I start swallowing funny when I am really anxious. I think this may be similiar to what you're describing.

LOL I don't mean to laugh but as I was reading this I was trying to swallow and I started coughing! Yes, I do believe I get this when I am anxious, like you said I don't get it all the time but it does happen.

Relieved to know it's possibly from anxiety. I've been off my anxiety meds for about a month and have about 11 days to go until my pdoc appointment to get a new medication. She gave me hydroxizine originally (what the hospital gave me in the emergency room) and all it does is make me super sleepy, does not take away my anxiety.
I'm really hoping I get medication that works when I get in there on the 5th. I'm tired of constantly feeling like I've taken an energy drink and feeling like I have "a tiger in the room" as it has been put on here. Always looking over my sholder, afraid of everything afraid of nothing. It's been a long two months since it started going at it pretty much on my own. I'm so tired. I don't want this anxiety. I need some kind of relief from it. I kind of just wish a doctor would give me some anesthesia to make me sleep. Let me sleep until my appointment. But I can't sleep. I just want to sleep it away until I can meet with pdoc and get something that works. I've been pushing forward for two months and I'm literally exhausted. All of this anxiety is wearing me out. I just want to sleep until it goes away.
