anybody ever get a really scratchy throat when panicky

been getting this a lot lately during panicK. Last time happened older son was here too but kinda felt that way all day. Like allergies bad. went to see an ENT and he thinks it's not allergies though. trying to get some stuff of my chest while he's here women having a heart to heart with just good. anyways anybody ever felt this way like it feels like you are going to have to cough And not be able to stop? freaks me out and makes me think its something else

I like S.C.'s explanation of how we have 'pet' symptoms unique to all of us. Just another aspect of how individual anxiety can be and how it affects us.

One thing I noticed for me anyway, is when my anxiety is peaking, and my breathing becomes more rapid and shallow, my mucous membranes dry out quicker (nose, throat, mouth) and it can certainly contribute to those feelings of raw, itch, cough, discomfort, resultant swelling.

Staying hydrated is really important. I'm a big super hydrator but I still get it. I'm not sure if that's what you're experiencing but I figured I share my personal experiences with you. :)
