EATING DISORDERS COMMUNITY
Terrified.

Terrified.

The past week or so I've been feeling like I have mucus stuck in my throat. I can't cough it up. Nothing helps. I've been bulimic for around 8 years. Im well aware of the damage  I can and am doing to my body. That being said, had anyone else felt this? What is it exactly? I'm extremely anxious. I'm afraid to sleep for fear of throat closing up or something. It's awful. I want to stop all this. I'm just utterly scared.

Hi!
Something stuck in the throat can be due to post nasal drip, if you have recurrent cold and sinusitis. It can also be gastric reflux due to weak esophageal sphincter or due to hiatal hernia. It can also be an allergic reaction to something you eat.
Since you have bulimia, it is possible that repeated vomiting has damaged your esophageal sphincter. It is also possible that you have a bad reflux.
I would sincerely advice you to consult your PCP and get this investigated. Also take help from a doctor specialized in treating eating disorders. Take care!
