hello
welcome to health care magic
According to your details, she can have following possibilities-
1) Globus hystericus (Conversion symptom)
2) Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD)
3) Depressive disorder
4) Delusional disorder
I advise you to visit a psychiatrist as soon as possible for detailed evaluation and treatment.
She will be alright after medication and psychotherapy
Hope it helps
Good Luck
