Middle aged guy here.  Never really endured anxiety but Covid has certainly provided plenty of anxiety.  It comes and goes situationally and symptoms certainly include that heavy weight on my chest feeling.

I have sought professional help from a therapist and that’s positive.  But I also have this throat soreness (somewhat different from an actual sore throat when you have a cold/flu). Before anyone asks, I’ve been tested multiple times for Covid and all negative.

I’ve researched throat chakras and the ideas behind that at the suggestion of my therapist.  While there may be some substance behind that idea, I feel like it’s more than that.

So I’m curious to know if others who have either situational or persistent/chronic anxiety have physical manifestations or feelings including sore throat, trouble swallowing, etc.
