Somatization, could it be that fast? PTSD

Hi,

Three months ago, one of my lower molar tooth fell down. I immediately felt something on my throat. A strange sensation that is still here. Now it is more in the area of my apple's Adam. It eases when I cry, or when I drink coffee, which I love, or if I feel the warmth of the people I love, but only for brief moments. My brain doesn't seem to want to let go of it easily. I did all the exams, and there is nothing that can justify it. The only thing that the Dr found was that I have my antibodies for my thyroid elevated.

I always been afraid of loosing my teeth. I live alone, and feel sad. When my tooth fell down I was touching it with a tooth pick. I saw it falling, I remember feeling in a panic sadness, I thought, what if my 7 treated tooths fall as easy as this one did?

I ask, is it that fast for our body to somatize a trauma, or an negative emotion, such as sadness? If this is true than PTSD developed Very sudden, and here is the proof.

Thanks, love to here your insights about somatization.

Thanks. I don't know if hashimoto cause this sensation. Do you know if TMS can swolen certain parts of your body, because it messes with your blood? I have it before. My arms where heavy and stiff, when I was battling chronic pain due to TMS, on my forearms. Is this what making my tongue feel swollen?
 
Have you read Claire Weekes yet?

No. But I read a lot of books about anxiety before. I use to have a lot of anxiety in the past, in fact, I think that chronic pain is nothing more than anxiety. My problem is that my symptom, which maybe be caused by anxiety, is Also listed in hashimoto thyroiditis. It is swollen tongue, but I also believe that thyroid issues are caused by anxiety, depression.

The problem is the kind of symptom I'm getting. It is awfull. How can I relax felling someone grabbing my throat all the time?
