Yes, anxiety can do.: High levels of anxiety can cause heart pounding, and a feeling of tightness in the chest that can make swallowing difficult sometimes. But check with your MD as other things can cause this. If physical is OK, consider CBT psychotherapy from psychologist who treats anxiety disorders. Slow deep breathing can also help, also mindfulness meditation can teach you to relax. Good luck-help is available

ANXIETY: Anxiety can cause these symptoms. Please have a physical exam by a Dr. to rule out a physical illness. There is extra anxiety due to covid 19- stay safe, cautious & hold on to hopefulness. Please consult with a Clinical Psychologist for psychotherapy to help your anxiety with Zoom sessions. Psychotherapy can help you find better coping mechanisms. Medication prescribed by a Psychiatrist can help.
