Can anxiety and panic attacks cause physical swelling on the chest wall and throat?
My mom has had a swollen area around her neck, on her chest plate, right under the adams apple area for a couple of months. She has attacks of not being able to breath and a constant feeling of something in her throat, which also visably swells sometimes. Been to LOTS of doctors had lots of tests, no diagnosis. |

| Sounds like she has an enlarged thyroid (like me). It can be treated easilly with medication, tell her to go see a doctor ASAP as it can get worse to the point of needing surgery. |

I had the same thing, and suffered for a year, waking up at nig dht not being able to breath. I decided to take diuretics, which I used to take for high blood pressure, but stopped 12 months ago, they took away the swelling as it was a build up of water, its only my second day and I feel much better already, I happen to have had some at home (old medication) I will now go to the doctor for more, and this time keep on them, otherwise my arteries get clogged up, water builds up and I cant breath. |
