What Causes Difficulty Swallowing And Tingling Feeling In Limbs?

Hi, for the last year and a half I ve had difficulty swallowing some days. Most days, but not all. Everyone I go to the Dr they say it s just anxiety but someone s I feel like it s something more and when I insist getting additional tests they say its just anxiety. Also along with this is I get tingly in my hands arms legs and feet, my boyfriend who s a dialysis technician said is a sign of low blood pressure but when they check that too, say all is fine. For 2 years I was having extremely bad anxiety attacks to the point I could leave my house. I was prescribed zoloft and Xanax but after 1 month I felt the same as when I started them so I speed taking them(this was October last year ) and haven t had a bad attack since . Just the coving on food and not being able to swallow. There is no pain associated with my swallowing. Also, I do have very large tonsils that years ago my pediatrician said they wanted to remove but changed their mind. I m thinking maybe now they are what may be the cause of my problem? ?

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,

From your history and symptoms, I think your doctor is right and these symptoms seem mixed more like due to anxiety and depression. Hence, in my opinion you do not need any additional clinical test. Rather you are advised to take some anxiolytic and/or anti-depressive under the guidance of a psychiatrist.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
