Is weird feeling in throat a symptom of anxiety?

[Jenni12345]

My health anxiety seems to get so much worse at night as im always worrying about something whenever i wake up in the night alone with my thoughts. My most recent fear is my throat closing up as sometimes i feel a slight tightness/numbness in my neck. I get so worked up about it cos im scared it'll close up. Is this a symptom of my anxiety?

I have had that fear for no reason. I would say yes it is a symptom of anxiety. Your throat is a sensitive part of your body. I know other people with the same problem. I am sure you will get more responses from the people on this site. Welcome to the site.

not only is throat tightness a physical symptom of anxiety, it's one of the biggest.

I constantly have this feeling. It feels like a lump that you can't swallow. When I start going into a panic attack like that I close my eyes and picture myself in a huge field with plenty of oxygen and a warm breeze encircling me. Sometimes a fan blowing on me helps. I hope that might help you too.

That has to be annoying the burp is annoying as hell specially if i dont get a burp ill keep trying

I unfortunately often do the burp thing as well. But more the swallowing, it's so scary I get so freaked out. It actually just woke me up out my sleep. So I'm up heart pounding and pacing at this moment.
