Lump in throat! HELP!

for 16 år siden 0 +0 / -0 466

Great jiminy, I know this feeling! I get the lump in the throat thing quite often, it almost acts like a reminder that anxiety is about to hit or already is.

To subside it a bit, I stick my chin up so my throat has a clear path, then swallow once, and breath slowly for a minute or two. I'm sure I get my fair share of looks, but I don't mind looking like a goofball. Mind you, this doesn't get rid of it completely, but it takes the feeling away enough to continue whatever I'm doing...which usually leads to it going away. It reminds me of the old eye twitch, it doesn't go away until you take your focus off of it.

Hope this helps, cheers man!

Hello Ivoryplum,

Sorry to hear you had a run in with the lump in the throat thing. It really is a freaky and disagreeable feeling. I wanted to echo the others in saying that I have had that feeling and it does go away. Hang in there.

You are so welcome Ivoryplum . I felt exatly the same when it was happening to me , i mean used to get the tight throat thing well still do but it did go relatively quickish . lol not good with words am i ? But when it didnt and infact felt even worse my axiety started to go up quite alot . Then someone reassured me on here as well . Boy need i need to read that at the time .

Now the lumpy feeling has gone and i feel better for it . I hope you feel better soon .

You helped me out a lot cornish-dee! Thank you for your encouragement, even though it wasn't the form most people hear it, you helped me understand it a bit more. I just needed to know that it was just another phase I was going through...and it'll eventually go away (which it usually does, but it just seems fooorever right now). I think I've been pretty stressed out, so perhaps this it a result of that...it just heightens my anxiety.

Well I'm hoping that it will go away shortly, because I can easily handle the other anxiety symptoms without anyone knowing, but when im coughing and gagging, it kind of brings attention to myself. haha.

Thanks again!!

IvoryPlum , hello there . Sorry to hear how you are feeling . Its not nice , and yes i did go through this myself . It went on for quite a few months too sorry to say .

There was nothing i could do either . Even when i coughed up the flem i still felt the lump . It drove me nuts . I do get flem and am usually sick with it once a week . Well not since ive been poorly funny enough so thats one bonus .

The lump i assume , well in my case was total anxiety . It did takes many weeks to go away but it went . I used to deep breathe , dont know if that really helped but i felt better for doing something at least .

Dont think im helping you here sorry if im confusing you .

Hope you feel better very soon , take care .

Ivoryplum, Glad to hear things were going better. In regards to the lump in your throat; continue working through the program.. this will help you determin what it is that causes this anxious feeling. Try doing relaxation exercises, meditation, yoga, box breathing anything that will help you relax a little. If this persists, you should talk to a health care professional. Take care of yourself and be well, Sylvie, Bilingual Health Educator

Unfortunately it isn't a cold... (I wish!) I had walking pnuemonia about 3 years ago, and ever since then I cough up stuff daily (I know, no good). So I am wondering if perhaps I still have that.

But even still, it should put me in this constant state of gagging everyday because of this lump I feel. Both the lump and flem together make it twice as worse. I'm wondering if its just like any other anxiety symptom. Where I need to stay where I'm at thats causing the symptom until it subdues some.

Any thoughts...?

And thanks for your response!

Maybe you have a cold since there is flem. Have you been checked by your doctor? I hope the nasty feeling fads soon. Honey helps sore throats.

I haven't posted in here in awhile, which I guess could be taken as a good thing! But recently the 'lump in throat' anxiety symptom has been so apparent! I usually go threw phases where its there when I get anxious and then go awhile where its not, but lately it has taken over this past month everytime I get even a little anxious and its the only symptom at the moment I can really say I notice. It causes me to gag because of it. : (

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get rid of this!? Are there certain things I can do...? Anything, please. I missed my acupuncture appoinment today because of it, and last time I had to leave early. Also, flem gets built up which causes me to have to cough it up or gag...which only adds to the annoyance of this.

I will take anyones advice, all of you on here are wonderful about that and I appreciate reading it everytime.

Thank you!
