Intense pressure in throat, mouth and jaw
So, three times today now I've had an episode of tighteness and pressure about my jaw/mouth/throat area. The pressure in my throat made me feel like I was going to be sick, so naturally I felt a bit nervous. I was doing well in fighting it but then I had severe trouble swallowing the second time around, which is my one way ticket to panicking, as that's something I seriously associate with getting sick (the last few times I was sick I couldn't swallow). The pressure in my jaw and mouth get so bad I have trouble opening my mouth.
Anyone else experience this? I was doing so well up until now. I've been trying to fight it back without the help of medication with deep breathing but it's difficult.
I had experienced this before, but only when I was having a depersonalization episode. It's never happened outside of it until today and it's terrifying.
