Okay this is nuts and I need some help. Could this be anxiety? Am I the only one in the world who sufferes from this! My symptoms, my throat is cold like as if I have a mint in my mouth all the time, its not painful just annoying and I cant stop obsessing over it. Does anyone know what this could be? Or has anyone ever had this before? Why cant I just accept this and move on? Please help

I have no idea what that is. Have you tried drinking a warm beverage like hot tea or coffee? Might help.

As far as I know a col throat is not a symptom of anxiety, but your confusion over it sounds like it is causing you anxiety.

You could try visiting your general practitioner and see if they have anything to say about it.

If they don't know what it is either, you may have to just accept it and move on, as we have to with so many things.

I don't think it's anxiety. but I don't know what it is. My thoughts are going towards a pinched nerve in your neck. :D

I'm glad you're getting an ent to check it out. Until then hang on in there. maybe eat mints to mask the sensation?

I suffer from a cold mouth, and mentioned it to my dentist, who referred me to the dental hospital, they said that yes my mouth is going cold, they could tell via a blood test. There is something called hot mouth syndrome, one of the registrars thought I had the opposite, and yes it can be caused by anxiety/stress. I'd see your doctor and see what he says.
