OK this is very strange but wondering if ever happened to anyone else. Sometimes I will be eating something - never the same thing and it feels like a bit sticks to a side in the back of my throat. I can't clear it and I can then feel it everytime I breathe out for days. Feels weird..like scratched or something. Just now it was ginger Candy I just bought at the Asian market. It's been honey before, toast once. So weird but makes me anxious cause it feels weird and I don't know it is or what happens! Things that make you go hmmm.....

i haven't experienced exactly what you're talking about but sometimes, especially when my anxiety is high, i feel like i can't quite swallow. it's as if there's something at the very back of my throat that's in the way, but there's clearly nothing there.

as a point of note, check the ingredients in your candy? honey is a common pairing with ginger and, if so, that would make two instances of it happening with that. you might have a sensitivity to it, or something in it. what was on your toast?

HN,

Hi...sorry this has happened ...it is not fun to feel these familiar, yet uncomfortable feelings after so long.:/

I think this is especially challenging because this is a trigger for you.

You have had this type of symptom/concern before...so you know it will be okay...

...but that doesn't always relieve the worry, I know.

Use your positive mantras and relaxation skills to get you through this time.

I am sure it will pass soon.smile

YES! This has happened to be with a few foods, particularly nuts, or chips. I think the dryer the food, the easier it is for this feeling to happen. I think it's just one of those random, benign bodily things we just have to say "hm, odd, but no biggie."

Have you tried to gargle or use saline water through your nose. Maybe that get rid of the sensation.

Best,

Susan
