I’m scared of taking pills

So by the title you’re probably thinking I feel like I’m unable to swallow pills without choking. Which isn’t the case, I’ve always been very good at swallowing pills and that’s never been something I’ve struggled with.

I never used to be, but now I get so much anxiety when taking medication for fear that it’ll kill me or ruin something. I don’t know why, this has never happened but I just pshyc myself up so much. For example, I’ve had really bad back pain tonight so I was going to take some ibuprofen. I got the pills out, put one in my mouth and ended up spitting it out and throwing them both in the bin because it made me too anxious. I don’t know what it is. And it’s becoming a real problem. Any suggestions?
