Hi there. Does anyone ever get a strange sensation in their mouth when they have an anxiety attack? I asked this on the panic boards too. I think im suffering from anxiety/panic attacks after having problems with my thyroid for a while. I get adrenaline rush feelings/panicky/feel like im going to die..... but this feeling in my mouth is like the same as the adrenaline feelings, but in my mouth. I know, sounds very strange, and Im having a hard time describing it, but it drives me mad!!!
Just wondering if im alone in this

i do...sometimes i get a weird taste in my mouth, and sometimes my left jaw area hurts, or i can like, feel my pulse in my throat, or something, making it hard to swallow.

yes, funny tastes (acid reflux?) and tingly lips and full feeling in the throat (hyperventalation?) jaws hurt from TMJ this is all anxiety related

Can you describe the sensation better? I might be able to relate.

I wish i could describe it better! It really is just like an adrenaline rush in my mouth! Its kind of like my tongue feels funny, thick almost, I dont know, it doesnt really tingle or burn or anything, its jsut that rushy feeling that i feel elsewhere in my body too. Kind of like the feeling when you are about to be sick, but I dont feel sick. Its really wierd, and makes me feel uncomfortable, as if something bad is going to happen.
