Have you ever forgotten how to swallow?

Question

It happens to me sometimes and when it does this wave of sheer panic rushes through me, especially if it happens when I'm eating. Am I the only one?

Answer

The same thing just happened to me like a hour ago !! My mouth became dry out of no where and I couldn't swallow.  I was so scared.  Felt like I couldn't breathe!!

Answer

Me and my ex started dating and we hugged but before we hugged I legit forgot how to hug 😂 I'm still wonder did I hug him right?? I just hug without thinking and when I do think about it I forget how to hug 😂

Answer

Yeah, it used to happen every so often as a kid.

And one of my medications now has it as a side effect 😩 if I don't go to sleep immediately after taking it, then I won't be able to swallow. I have to sit up, give it 5-6 tries and then I can get a half assed swallow. It sucks so bad. I panic everytime.

Answer

Loccssionally. Is an anxiety thing. Possibly also an OCD thing though I've never been officially diagnosed with it (can't afford a psychiatrist even with insurance...). But I just try to let the moment pass. If possible I keep water with me or a bottled drink because that helps me swallow and calm down.
