Troubles swallowing related to anxiety? other then medication what can i do to help?

Maybe: People with anxiety may experience the feeling that they can't swallow. This usually worsens the anxiety. Fortunately in these cases swallowing is usually fine and the sensation is related to the anxiety. If the swallowing problems are still present when calm seek further medical evaluation.
