Paranoid about choking

[PETRONELLAS]

I’m starting to gag on so many foods and it’s turning into a big deal in my head. I’m not sure what to do. Trying to stay calm but very scared. Any tips on getting over this.

The only I can think of is distraction while eating. The closest thing I've had to that is a problem with swallowing large hard pills and I get that because I'm thinking about it. If I can concentrate on something else they go down just fine.

Thank you for replying. That’s a great tip as it’s when I’m sitting quietly by myself it’s worse. Thanks.

Are you actually gagging on the food? It might be worth asking for medical advice as to why this as suddenly started?

I have a massive choking anxiety, but don't physical gag on food, I do have to majorly chew all food before swallowing though. It's an awful thing to be paranoid about so you have my sympathy.
