Slight Gagging sensation in throat.

I have been having the gagging sensation now for about 5 days... I don't think I've ever had this before. Like most of you, I too am a major hypochondriac with social anxiety although I do not have the fear of vomiting... I actually throw up anywhere from 1-6 times in a month. I have ulcers and acid reflux. I am hoping that is what's caused this. I also think it's important to mention that I have recently (self diagnosed) discovered that I am majorly low in Iron! I've felt light headed most days for about the last year now, and always attributed it to allergies. However my husband went away for a week and I basically lived off of bread and sandwiches... and I drank a little bit of alcohol too. I threw up a few times because the alcohol makes my ulcers feel terrible, then the next day my throat had this lump in it. I was also incredibly pale, I almost fainted because it freaked me out so bad! Of course I looked up that symptom and it looks like the most likely cause is lack of iron. Which makes perfect sense because I already had very low iron in my regular diet (although I do eat healthy, whole foods, I eat very little meat at all and nothing really containing iron). So when my husband went away and I stopped eating meat altogether, plus I also got my period for a second time in the month... I think my body is just reacting to the lack of iron and perhaps it's having an effect on my immune system... not as capable of fighting off my GERD symptoms. I don't know. My husband is so sick of me talking about all my stupid ailments, but I would really just like to get to the bottom of them so that I no longer have to talk about it. My Hypochondria started after I was bit by a black widow spider and the symptoms made me feel like I was honestly dying, took me weeks to figure it out. Anyways life has been very anxious since then and these little things make it so much worse! Good luck everyone.

Im exactly like that it seems like a never ending cycle. I hardly leave my house cos of it . I know the post is from years ago but i hope your doing better.

claritin helps. it's allergies. also ginger tea and just nibble on saltless crackers. i know they say allergies cause runny nose but they definitely make thick mucus and i had it all year round when i developed allergies

Constant gagging and throwing up for 3 years and I don't know how much longer I can deal with this! Do you know what is causing this?

Is paragon a cure for gagging? I am afraid to try it and I feel like something is stuck in my throat all the time. Do you have any info on this product?

I’m going through the exact same thing, could you tell me what helped you?
