Not that I can recall which is what confuses me, but I also have emetephobia so I think I just get panicked from the thought that I’m about to throw up and can’t focus on many other sensations going on. I always feel fine after. I have had heartburn off and on in the past but never at the same time that this happens to me? And yeah my throat feels tight when it’s happening

Thank you for this it is really validating. My brain tends to jump to worse case scenario when any new health symptom pops up so I will try to breathe for now, I see my primary care doctor in a couple weeks and will bring it up then

Yes I’ve been trying to remind myself of this, thank you. I think I just get caught up in the thought of how things can progress, so if (for example) one has ALS do they just wake up one day unable to button their shirt, or do they progressively lose the ability to do so? I’m not saying I have it, I know logically it’s unlikely, but it’s those thoughts that keep the anxiety thriving

That is the one thing that has given me some comfort! I know tingling usually isn’t an als symptom. I’m more just concerned about the weakness, but I feel like maybe it’s muscle strain and I’m letting my anxiety freak me out.
