It is possibly Anxiety: Please see a physician for a physical examination, especially concerning your lungs to make sure that you are not struggling with some form of asthma or copd. If that evaluation comes up clear then see a psychologist or a psychiatrist for further treatment recommendations.

Can the physical pain of anxiety be constant? My chest and armpit pain are constant, as is the need to yawn and take a deep breath.

When I am drinking fluids and sometimes eating soft foods, I can feel them come back up in my throat, this causes me to panic as I feel it takes my breath for a second. I also struggle with anxiety. What could be causing this in my throat? Thank you.
