Hi folks, here I am in Ypres Belgium, just doing a quick check of emails. Last night we heard the Last Post played at the Menin Gate, and we have been to Tyn Cot cemetary where 12,000 soldiers are buried, and 35,000 names listed of those lost but not found. At the Menin Gate there are another 54,000...

Jitterlegs, I asked my doc to do it the other way around. I take 2mg per day, and asked him to give me 4 x .5 mg pills, and these are easily broken in half, so I can spread them easily over the 24 hours, but they cost more this way. Here in the UK we have National Health Care, basically if you are n...

thank you so much Sardsy, you have all been so supportive. It is not that any particular part of my life/work is particularly stressful. it is just that there seems to be so much on the go/so much to do, and not enough time. The valium seemed to 'relax' the choking feeling, but the feeling came back...

What a day. Went to the doc who immediately came up with stress/anxiety, blood pressure up a bit, (so not like me) of course at the time of taking it I was in floods of tears, he wanted me to take a month on a doc's line. He said only reason he was not insisting on the one month off is cos I am on h...

choking feeling in throat and chest is pretty constant this last 4 weeks. I only recently connected it with possibly anxiety. My friend told me yesterday that she could have told me right away it is likely anxiety, that I'm the perfect candidate. She would love to employ me cos i do everything at 15...

Hi folks, I don't actually have difficulty swallowing. Its a discomfort from my throat down to my stomach, feeling like a tightness at either end. I have been taking omezparol (sp.) Losec for a few weeks at 20 mg. Have doubled it for a few days. Doesn't seem to make a difference. Views, I am a gener...

Felt a bit bad that I gave in and took a couple, but overall It's going ok. However, its this awful 'anxious' fe...

help please

Recently for a few weeks, I have been feeling that I have had a tight lump in my throat and chest. Also not just myself at all. I have a doc appt in a couple of days and just in case (as I suspect) that this is an anxiety 'thing' I'd really appreciate some input regarding rls friendly medications. I...
