Does this sound like (another bloody) anxiety symptom or do I need to get checked out?

[PhilPhilConnors]

For the last year or so I've gone from one physical symptom of anxiety to another.
Last week I started with a weird sore throat, but not my throat, more the front of my neck.
Sometimes it feels like there's a lump.
If I do too much my chest below that area feels burny.

As with all the symptoms before, if I can wind down and not be with the DC be calm it fades away.

It started after reading about thyroid problems, which makes me wonder if it's psychosomatic.

Do I sit it out and relax or go and get it checked?

Hi Phil, for any kind of anxiety I use Linseed tea - here's a link to the recipe and how it works. rebuildyourhealthreclaimyourlife.com/2016/02/12/my-little-miracle/

Also make sure you are hydrated with water. If you're in a dehydrated state you'll naturally be anxious. Try increasing your water and adding 3 cups linseed tea per day and notice if you / the lump in your throat feels different :)

Thank you, I'll give that a go

There is an anxiety symptom called globus hystericus, it is harmless but can be very distressing if you already have anxiety. Could it be that?

I would ask for your thyroid to be checked.

Thank you for posting about this. This has been happening to me when I'm going to sleep at night, but didn't know what it was. It seems to have replaced the heart palpitations. It's odd as bed is my place of safety in the day but my enemy at night.

It sounds like globus hystericus. I had it for a while after my dad died and while going through peri menopause. It's died down now so it will pass if you find a way to calm your anxiety.

It's actually stopped since posting this!
My thyroid was checked, but only the basic levels I think. I was found to have low iron levels and low vitamin d levels, which are both being treated.

Dehydration can cause globus. Do push for more thyroid tests, particularly for thyroid antibodies.

I will Haggis, thank you
