    With the burning it could be acid reflux.

    I get a gaggy feeling with my anxiety. I hate it and feel like i have to swallow a lot to "force down" the feeling. Bleck

    “We are the girls with anxiety disorders, filled appointment books, five-year plans. We take ourselves very, very seriously. We are the peacemakers, the do-gooders, the givers, the savers. We are on time, overly prepared, well read, and witty, intellectually curious, always moving. We pride ourselves on getting as little sleep as possible and thrive on self-deprivation. We drink coffee, a lot of it. We are on birth control, Prozac, and multivitamins. We are relentless, judgmental with ourselves, and forgiving to others. We never want to be as passive-aggressive as our mothers, never want to marry men as uninspired as our fathers. We are the daughters of the feminists who said, “You can be anything,” and we heard, “You have to be everything.”

    I get the exact same thing, sometimes with the burny feeling, I have it the "gagging" feeling right now and I am having to swallow it down roughly every 15 seconds, they amount of air I'm swallowing makes me burp, which makes me think I'm about to V*. Even though I know rationally that the "gagging" feeling only lasts a minute or so prior to V* so I'm obviously not going to V*. You'll be fine though, I'm only getting it now because I can't sleep and that causes me to panic, pure anxiety hun xxx

    Yes! It's anxiety I dry heave and gag when under a lot of stress. I went through a long period of time where I was super stressed and gagged all morning until I got to work. It's miserable. It should stop though or at least decrease when you are not as anxious or stressed. It's a psycho somatic symptom that's common in emetophobes
