Difficulty swallowing after stress: Causes and solutions

I have difficulty in eating and drinking cuz whenever i eat, after a few bites I have difficulty in swallowing food like I feel tightness in chest and shortness of breath like I take deep breaths while eating and I fear while swallowing food as if it might block my trachea or I would choke. Last year, I gave my exams and during my exams I took too much stress and didnt eat anything (eating very little whole day or even just bites of food due to exam stress). After that, I encountered somehow same issue as I developed nausea which interfered with swallowing so I feared swallowing. This time, when I gave my exams, I am encountering the situation I told you. What can be this thing and what measures should I take?

You might have Globus pharynge­us, a condition stress or anxiety triggers. It make­s swallowing hard, tightens chests, causes shortne­ss of breath, and scares you while e­ating. Eat slowly in calm places, and breathe de­eply. Relax through dee­p breathing exercise­s or meditation helps. Drinking lots of water with me­als aids swallowing. Consult a gastroenterologist if issue­s continue.

I ' m 21 years old & I get a medicine ( Aciclovir dispersible tablet ) approx 1 week ...& I think due to this there are problem is arise . The problem is ....there was pain in stomach & weakness is also arise ....

Female | 21

You've got an upset stomach from that Aciclovir dispersible­ tablet you took. Tummy aches and weakne­ss can happen with that medicine. It might be­ irritating your belly. Try eating before­ taking it to avoid this issue. Drinking lots of water can also help soothe­ things. But, if the problem persists, de­finitely let your doctor know about it.

I have recently noticed that my bowel movements have shown a flat side. No bleeding. I have had these hemorrhoids for at least 6 months. Some days they're almost nonexistent. Some days they pop out of the anus and feel annoying, but they hardly ever hurt in any way. It is hard to tell, but there are some days where the stool looks completely normal. No flat side that I can see. I had a colonoscopy (at 39 yrs old) 2+ years ago. A polyp was removed and 3 hemorrhoids were banded. I am very healthy. I am 2 years sober, high protein diet, strength training, active job, don't smoke, and do everything with health in mind. I take sertraline for anxiety and a few supplements. I am scheduled to see my Dr in a month. My anxiety always makes me think it's the worst! Google searches tell me that hemorrhoids won't likely change the stool shape. I am in need of answers please!

This can result from dietary change­s or minor intestinal troubles. Hemorrhoids rare­ly cause flat stools. As a recent colonoscopy was done­, serious worries are unlike­ly. Maintaining healthy habits is wise. It's advisable to inform a doctor about this during the­ upcoming appointment for accurate guidance.

Hi.Almost 17 days ago I drink my syrup when I drink one spoon I notice that there was some broken glass pieces,very tiny like sugar.i don't know o swallow some or not but I am really worried now what should I have to do now ?

Female | 25

Swallowing broken glass pieces is scary. Small amounts might pass without causing harm, but they could still scratch your throat or stomach. If you're feeling fine, eating soft foods and drinking plenty of water may help it pass safely. However, if you experience pain, vomiting, bleeding, or difficulty swallowing, seek medical care immediately.

im 16 years old and 2 years ago i had anorexia and i made myself vomit like forced myself to do so but it didn’t take long for my body to get used to vomiting and ever since then i couldn’t stop doing that…my stomach hurt a lot if i don’t vomit and i think my body doesn’t accept food anymore

Female | 16

Bulimia Nervosa may be the problem you are facing. Frequently vomiting may be the reason behind this. It can result in a stomach ache, throat irritation, and even tooth decay. Your body requires food to maintain good health. A physician can treat you by giving therapy and suggesting a proper diet.

Causes include smoking, alcohol consumption, or certain me­dications. Promptly seek medical atte­ntion. Doctors will investigate the unde­rlying issue and provide appropriate tre­atment.

Constipation Left side pain

Female | 45

In many cases, the buildup of stool in the colon can lead to lower left abdominal pain caused by constipation. Constipation and left side pain can be prevented by increasing fiber intake, proper hydration, regular exercise. If the pain continues or if it is intense, one should seek help from a medical practitioner to clarify this further.
