A member asked:
Can anxiety make you feel like you have trouble swallowing? sometimes i feel the food hitting my throat when going down. today, before swallowing, the food kind of stopped at the beginning of my throat & i swallowed more carefully and it went down?

It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without taking additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see your doctor and discuss if you may be depressed. Counter-intuitive as it may seem, exercise may help. Start with low intensity exercise such as walking and gradually increase the intensity as tolerated. Drink more water. Wish you good health!
