A member asked:
I am having a hard time swallowing, i have an extreme spike in anxiety when this occurs, it has happened twice a day for about a week?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Go to your doc: If you are having a difficult time swallowing (eating solid food) I would advise you visit your regular physician soon. But if your throat is swelling up and your having difficulty breathing or swallowing fluids then you should head to the ER immediately to reduce the swelling.
