Hi.
Anxiety and panic disorder along with its effect on on gastrointestinal tract is usually due to a condition called IBS that is Irritable Bowel Syndrome.
Feeling full even 2 days after eating, feeling of mucus in throat and cramping can in addition to be due to intestinal infection or intolerance to something that you ate outside.
Hence I would advise you the following in such a situation:
Take a PPI like Pantoprazole.
Reglan/Metoclopramide or Domperidone for the feeling of fullness.
Antacids orally.
Soft bland diet and plenty of oral fluids as tolerated.
The jaw gland can be due to inflammation or stone in one of the salivary glands. Your Doctor will examine to have a clinical diagnosis to be confirmed by ultrasonography and treated accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
