Lockjaw? Panic Attack? Psychological?

by Symptom Advice on December 31, 2010

Hey guys, me again.

I would really appreciate your help in this.. please.. please help because im really scared that i will choke on my tongue at night or something.

A few days ago, I started getting this weird feeling in my throat, like weakness/stiffness in the jaw, and neck area. And when i try to swallow my saliva at that point, my throat feels like all my muscles are contracted and i cant swallow nor breathe. Please do this.. put your thumb under your chin, and press hard, now try to swallow, it's hard, right? thats how i feel, but lower in the throat, its like a weakness, and then it gets numb or something.. and then i feel like i cant breathe, but then it goes away.
It started a few days ago, and now its happening more frequently, like every 5 minutes, and i try not to pay attention, but when i think that its going to happen, it happens right away.
I dont know what to think,
i thought it was a panic attack, but now i dont know… cuz it's not, i looked at the symptoms.

Thx

Have you suffered panic attacks before, it could be a nervous condition, a bit like a tic, you should really tell your doctor so you can rule out anything physical.
