Yes. Also have tightness in stomach and chest sometimes. Convinced I was having heart attack and just OCD

Yes, pressure feelings and muscle tension is normal with OCD and anxiety. I went through days with an intense pressure in my head and I was convinced I had a brain tumor! It was just anxiety mixed with some allergies

I had ENT visit last week where they scoped my throat with a camera because it got so bad.

I’ve had this on and off for years. I had multiple doctor appointments and tests and everything came back fine. Eventually it turned into this obsession that I was having an allergic reaction to everything I ate. Then I would check my throat in the mirror a few times an hour until I was convinced I wasn’t dying. it’s kind of embarrassing to admit this. Still happens a few times a month but it used to be all day everyday.

Yes. It's very hard to sing while feeling that and I gotta do it every Saturday and Sunday at church?

It’s interesting. I’ve been diagnosed with dysphonia, and am seeing a specialist next week for video of vocal cords, but the throat itself gets soooo tight. Trying to figure out patterns: emotional, food-related, stress (even good stress like working out). I can’t find a pattern, but my throat pain and tightness did improve immediately after seeing Structural Integrationist who worked on neck. Improvement does not last, but it helps immediately after. Makes me wonder about stress and neck musculature.

I think i may need to see someone about it because I feel it’s definitely stress/ anxiety related, and i’m getting sick of it.

Maybe try a good ENT first. Get recommendations from your primary or from online. It always helps me to have a doc who is OCD-friendly, and not dismissive. The ENT could then recommend you to a SLP

question for people with panic attacks
I have panic disorder, and OCD and anxiety. Does anyone else ever feel just off the edge all the time? Like I always feel like something’s off or something’s gonna happen. I don’t know how to explain the feeling. But I always feel off and when I feel off I panic

What is this feeling that i feel?
For 3 days I had a feeling that came up pretty often and I cant name it, I dont know what is it and the more i try to see what is it the more i feel worse. Usually letting feeling be and letting yourself experience it helps but not with this. I find myself feel grumpier, triggered and more angry. Its a mix of fear, but then i get angry too and I dont find letting myself experience it helpful cause I just stuck there. It feels like its in my chest and when it gets triggered it makes things hard to enjoy. I tried to be kind with myself and see what causes it but trying to be kind with myself triggers this annoying feeling and it just gets worse... i dont know what helps thats why i ask your help, if you ever experienced this... also i what i almlst forgot to mention, what is really important is that i became really sensitive to every thought, and any thought can trigger this feeling or any thought can trigger a negative feeling that will trigger this feeling. And honestly the "just accept it and let yourself feel what you feel" doesnt helps here cause i find myself really angry that i have to let myself feel the emotions that are triggered by these intrusive thoughts...

Health anxiety (Need Help)
Has anyone ever had an intrusive thought of thinking you’ve might’ve swallowed something dangerous and you can’t trust your own mind? And you feel like you need to go in to get checked out? Any advice or reassurance?
