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.

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

Do you feel the same?
I felt really overwhelmed with my thoughts and just so over it. I had my breathing controlled normally. It’s just so fucking annoying and frustrating that a normal thing like breathing is a hassle and something that I’m scared to do on a day to day basis recently. I had it controlled. I just wanna know if there’s people out there with a similar problem or something. I have this thing, this problem with a feeling of my thoughts coming out of my breath when I breathe I can’t breathe normally. It’s annoying and it takes me a couple days to finally catch my breath. I was doing good but then I ran out of my meds and the problem came back I was off my meds for 2 days. I had a breakdown about it today bc the thoughts are so perverse and I just wannabe in a normal situation again and be happy and normal it’s so hard to maintain. I don’t know what’s going on.

Anyone else has this happen?
Anyone else just have days where they feel more calm and don’t have as many intrusive thoughts? But then later at night time it just comes back so you only had relief even for a little bit 😞😞 I feel like even when I’m not having my OCD send me intrusive thoughts, I always have a feeling in my stomach that something is wrong/off or a sense of doom. I always just feel on edge and anxious as if my mind is always preparing itself for the next horrifying intrusive thought to torment me with ugh 🫠
