A member asked:
Can being stressed/anxious cause difficulty swallowing? i have long term gastro issues (endo 2 yrs ago showed grade b esoph) but also v bad depression/ health anxiety. obsessive about mygastro health so could thinking about swallowing make it harder?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, if you concentrate on swallowing, it is more difficult to do. Obsessing about swallowing will make swallowing more difficult. It sounds like you could use some help with your health anxiety so speak with your primary care provider about this to get some help with your anxiety/depression. A psychiatrist would be a good place to start, if you haven’t seen one yet, along with a counselor.
