I had a barium swallow done and it came back normal, and had a doctor take a scope and just look at my throat where my vocal cords are. I am concerned I have Dysphagia but since I had that barium swallow come back positive the doctors said I could eat as I normally would, However, I do have problems with panic attacks and I am scared that I would choke on my food and as a result I think I tighten my throat muscles and my gag reflex kicks in...Is this swallowing problem most likely in my head because from what it seems the doctors have ruled out everything else possible. I am just scared and haven't ate...I have never had a swallowing problem before and I am only 16 and this has only been going on for a year now...plz just give me some insight on this or why i tense my throat maybe and how i can stop it.
also in the morning when my throat isnt as tense is when i eat the best but as the day goes on with stress my throat tightens up and is starting to tighten when I wake up...
