Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
at the base of my neck on the right side when i swollow it feels like i am swollowing funny, there is no pain and i can not feel any type of lump or anything. I think i am just over thinking this but cannot convince myself i am. i am 6-1, 165, in great shape i was a college baseball player. i suffer from anxiety and have read other peoples responses to my question online about how they focused on that particular area and it got worse but if they focused on something else they didnt feel anything.
I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. I suggest you that you make your mind that it is just a funny feeling. Nothing to be alarmed of. we broadly call it obsession. You had that disturbing sensation once. You expected it to happen again and tried. Then you started experiencing it as you were expecting it. Then your body brought the familiar symptom because you are expecting it. Then you started worrying that the symptom is coming again and again and expect it. Body brings it again as you are expecting it. You become worried and so on. That is obsession in simple terms. Ignore it and the problem vanishes.
If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe the needed psychotherapy techniques which should help you cure your condition further.
Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications. Good luck.
