Gag Reflex

hey there guys for the past 2 months when ever i eat something i seem to gag i could be half way through a meal or on those last little bites and i just gag and i have trouble eating it. It seems to be worse when i eat something i don't particularly like i'll eat it but im not overally keen on it.

But it doesn't matter what i eat, i mean im still hungry and want to eat it but its like my body won't let me and i have to force myself to eat and try and stop myself from gagging. Also it happens when im eating solid food not liquid.

i would appreciate any advice or information, thanks guys

I had this a while back when I was suffering depression and anxiety. If you've been feeling particularly nervous or anxious about anything lately, this could be the reason.
1) How old are you?
2) Does the food get stuck in your throat?
3) Have you noticed any voice change?
4) Have you had any earache?
Question Author
im 19, no food doesn't get stuck, there is no change in my voice and no i havent had ear ache
OK, then it is psychological an I am ill qualified to advice further.
