    Yes I've had this too in the past (for 10 months when my sister and I were not on speaking terms after a big fight). You need to resolve the anxiety. That's what it takes. In the meantime, placing your hand on the side of your neck will help you to swallow. Worked for me.

    Trouble Swallowing Anxiety

    Yeah, my mum had that when she suffered with anxiety. She was convinced it was a physical problem but it wasn't, it just felt that way.

    When you find ways to control the anxiety (relaxation techniques etc) it won't be a problem for you anymore.

    Yes, it's a symptom of severe anxiety, or panic disorder. I hope you've been checked out. There are a ton of good meds for anxiety. Please get help.
