You feel pressure in your throat. Looks like there’s something stuck inside. Do you swallow with difficulty and continue to do so? To check if everything’s okay?Your throat shrinks more and more. You’re trying to calm down, but the feeling persists In the end, your nervousness increases and you even cry. You feel a ball in your throat.
Bolus in the throat, also known as a ball in the throat, as mentioned in the article Pseudo-neurological manifestations of somatomorphic disorders, is a symptom of anxiety, which gives the person who feels it a constant feeling that their throat will close and that they will not be able to breathe. Even if it sounds real, it doesn’t really happen.
- Bolus in the throat is one of the main symptoms that indicate that there is an anxiety problem.
- The vast majority of people who suffer from it express this feeling of suffocation.
- However.
- We must keep in mind that it is always a sensation.
You’ll be suffocating in no time. In fact, even if you have trouble swallowing, if you try to drink a glass of water, you won’t have any trouble doing so.
What’s the matter with the cake? If we believe your lie is that we will stop breathing, in such cases the feeling of suffocation can increase and the person can start acting desperately, this does not mean that, if we are aware of what it is. it’s happening, everything will go away quickly. No, it doesn’t work that way.
Despite feeling it on more than one occasion and knowing that nothing bad is going to happen, the ball in my throat is going to steal our tears out of desperation to feel it for ten or fifteen minutes, with no sign of leaving. We would regularly do well to seek professional help. There’s something in our life that causes us anxiety and we don’t know how to fix it.
“Fear sharpens your senses, does anxiety paralyze you? -Kurt Goldstein-
Although we already have a better idea of how the bolus manifests in the throat and how the person feels anxious, it is worth mentioning some characteristics:
If we’ve ever felt a lump in our throats, we’ll probably end up in the hospital, what they’re doing is a test that tells us there’s nothing blocking our throats, so in many cases they give us medicine and send us home. But none of this will solve our problem.
Ignoring symptoms of anxiety can have serious consequences. The first is that we won’t be able to see what’s really causing this. Is anxiety always a warning cry? Something’s not right and you don’t realize, if we ignore it, it won’t go away. On the contrary, it will try to alert us that there is a problem that we must solve in other ways.
“I’m being attacked by something I can’t escape” — Sherri Paricio Bornhoft-
The ball in the throat can be the first warning with which anxiety tries to make us aware of something that is happening to us, if we do not know it, there will be depersonalization, somatization of emotions, chest tightness or facial paralysis (Bell’s palsy) , among other options.
Ideally, go to a professional to solve what causes us anxiety, which can finally appear at any time. It does not warn or give any warning signs so that we can prepare in advance. This happens to realize that what is happening to us requires immediate attention.
