Airy fluttering feeling in throat.. could it be my anxiety disorder causing it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Anxiety and the Body: Studies show that people with anxiety disorders may have much more awareness of what goes on in their bodies. While the immediate answer to your question is "perhaps." if you are really concerned why not see your physician to rule out any problem that you might have?
