Throat/jaw tightness...Ugh
« on: March 12, 2011, 05:31:47 AM »
I haven't been here in a while, which is a great thing.  Unfortunately, I'm really stumped right now.  ><"

For the past several weeks I've been on and off experiencing tightness in my throat in varying places and occasionally the right side of my jaw.  It's mostly just very uncomfortable and never really hurts, but it is bugging me.  Tonight it's mostly on the upper right side of my neck (and jaw), and it makes swallowing saliva hard although I haven't had much trouble with food and almost none with liquids.  At first I thought it was just anxiety, but the fact that it's in stranger places than I normally associate with anxiety throat tightness (not to mention the type spasm usually associated with anxiety) worries me. I can't really see or feel anything on the outside of my neck, though.

It's starting to freak me out a little.  Can this sort of thing just be caused by sinus allergies, like pollen etc?  I've also been getting stuffy noses.  I considered a food allergy, but after testing that theory for several days it didn't really seem to affect whether I got it or not (of course, I haven't been to the doctor about it yet either)  I also worried that it might be mold, but I haven't actually seen or smelled any mold in my house or elsewhere.

It's always just one more symptom to go at this point.  X_X

The world is only awful when you believe it to be.

When I stopped fearing panic attacks, I never had another.  When I stopped fearing shaking, I stopped.  When I stop fearing the IBS symptoms, I no longer had IBS symptoms.  When I stopped fearing changes to my heartbeat, my heartbeat became normal.
