Thank you for your question and welcome to Health Central's Anxiety Community.   I am not a medical professional and would not be able to give you medical advice.   Gagging can be a symptom of anxiety. In a previous post, Merely Me talked about this symptom of anxiety. She also talked about some physical conditions which may cause gagging, such as MS or post nasal drip. She points out that it is important to talk with a medical professional to make sure there is not a physical cause before assuming that this is caused by anxiety.   Merely Me also offers some ideas on how to help reduce gagging.   For information on how anxiety can manifest in physical symptoms: Physical Symptoms of Anxiety   Eileen
