A member asked:
I have a weird feeling at the suprasternal hollow. it almost feels like it's really dry or perhaps something stuck there? can anxiety cause this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Many people feel tightness in their throat or difficulty swallowing as a direct result of anxiety. Muscle tension can also influence how you feel. Search for a progressive muscle relaxation or breathing relaxation exercise on youtube and see how you feel after listening and following the directions. If you feel better, anxiety may be the cause. If not, consult with your doctor.
