Hi I was after some help, I haven't been on here for a while, but I'm struggling at the minute and really need some advice please, when I was a child I choked on a hard sweet, I really panicked at the time and over the years at times its really flared up, the past probably 8, 9 months I have noticed that I have started to panic again and on occasion I have felt like I have struggled to swallow for a second when eating, like I really have to forced myself to swallow and I can't but obviously do after a few seconds, this recently has really intensified and I feel that I'm now dreading every meal and feel very panicked and scared that I will choked, I'm convinced I have cancer or some things else serious, I do take lansoprazole for heartburn been on them a long time, I am getting where I dreading meals and eating, seems worse on a evening meal when it's a bigger meal, I am going to go to drs which I'm am dreading, but any help would be so grateful, thanks toria.xx
