having trouble swallowing. I feel the urge to clear my throat a lot after I eat or drink, and sometimes I feel like there's something off with the "timing" of swallowing. Like it just doesn't feel natural anymore and I'm overthinking it, maybe? Maybe a few times a day, I feel like I'm literally unable to start the swallowing motion with my throat. Then I wait a few seconds and the feeling goes away and I can swallow normally again. It's kind of a scary feeling because I feel like I'm about to choke on whatever I'm eating or drinking.
I wonder if this might be anxiety, because I've had anxiety about really random things before and I know that it can sometimes create physical symptoms. This symptom started shortly after I found out I have some weird undiagnosable immune system issue. Repeated blood tests keep showing that I [i]should[/i] be really susceptible to getting sick, but I feel mostly normal. Maybe the swallowing thing is like a weird subconscious attempt to "create symptoms for myself"? Or does it sound like I have a real problem here?
