Rule out causes: This symptom use to be related to anxiety disorders, but other problems like frequent reflux or a previous hit must be ruled out. If you don´t have other explication than a stressful situation at work or home, professional advise should be looked for. A certified psychoterapist could determine what kind of treatment would be useful.
