Gagging..

[AvariceAngel]

I'm new to panic attacks, Im taking Fluoxetine 20mg, Buspirone 15mg and Alprazolam 0.5mg for my anxiety issues however a new symptom has come into play. I gag now, I gag A LOT and its really making life awful. It was already extremely hard to cope with all of the emotional stress and fatigue but now I have to gag? The quality of life has really dropped, I can't do many things cause of my gagging so please.. I beg you to give me any advice or even better, a doctor give me an opinion on my new condition.

Gag or choke from spasms in your esophagus (food tube), are often referred to as "esophageal spasms".

And as someone stated, and is true: "Usually spasms and or cramping of any muscle in the body including the esophagus is caused by a lack of magnesium in your system."

Your new to anxiety and panic attacks so I'll tell you that this is not uncommon. Alot of us that have anxiety feel like we're choking, gagging and have a tight throat. I take it you just started your meds? Give them some time to start working and the gagging will get better and hopefully go away completely. My tight throat stopped after I started my meds. Take care .Remar
