i can relate to you i had the same thing a while back, the lump in the throat thing is horrible, i dont get it anymore but my anxiety is going off the charts i really feel like im going to die, everytime i wake up from sleeping i get this really bad shaking all over my body then my heart starts to pound. this have happen now for four days straight. i think that im either going crazy or im going to die i think im going to write a post on this to see what feed back i can get

it could be the effexor. do you know the side effects? or it could be your anxiety. if it's your meds you can try something different . i was on effexor and had the same thing. i usually don't recommend people looking the side effects up but this sounds like it's really bothering you. if it is a side effect at least you'll know what's causing it. take care.

I thought I was unique to the throat thing.  When I was 21 (I'm now 44) I started having a lump in the throat, nervous horrible feeling, to the point where I quit eating coz I thought I was going to choke.  The feeling in my throat made me so anxious.  I thought I was dying.  I went to see a throat specialist who just rubbed my head and said  my throat "was wide open" and to quit worrying about it.  This is a classic symptom of anxiety and the reason I know this is because I lived with my grandmother when I was young, and she suffered from anxiety/depression, very badly.  She had electric shock treatments and everything.  I can remember her sitting there saying "I just wish I could reach in my throat and pull it out!!"  It used to get on my nerves!  I hated her talking like that!  Until it happened to me and then I became very sad because I was the only one who knew how much she was suffering.  I suffered to the point that I didn't want to live if it mean't putting up with that, and the funny thing is I was at a totally happy point in my life, there were no issues or no problems in my life. It's genetic, I'm convinced.  My advise for you is to investigate if this anxiety effects anyone else in your family.  It definitely is a brain-chemistry thing, so don't get upset.  Mine eventually went away, but I've suffered other symptoms instead.  My anxiety traveled all through my body, seeking it's weekest point!  Just hang in there and know that it IS ANXIETY, and try not to let it overtake your sanity.  Thankfully, today there is a lot more talk of anxiety and people to help plus meds.  I was all alone......me and grandma!

Interesting what you said about your anxiety seeking it's weakest point.
Makes a lot of sense.

Genetics cannot get away from it. Some of us are born wired with anxiety/depression.
Not fair when the other siblings do not get it ...oh well that's life.
