Hi Happy and welcome!

Gastro issues are common with anxiety. This could be from over production of acid or indigestion issues...

or another possiblility, which is definitely anxiety related...air gulping/over breathing.

Either of these will cause stomach bloating and belching.

Using an OTC gas relieving med with simethicone should help. (Gas-X, Mylanta Gas)

Paying attention to your breathing habits could be worthwhile too.

Feel better soon,

That's an issue I have a lot of times, I feel lime something is stuck in my throat and I have difficulty eating sometimes. I seem to belch a lot, because I think I over breathe due to being anxious most of the time. Try some of the coping techniques.

Thankyou...I know that fear makes it so real and having been checked out I really should change my line of thought ....I will try and il use those help sites... Fear is such a strong emotion and so disabling...many thanks for helping and sharing.
