Is There A Relation Between Stress, Depression And Sore Throat?

Hello,

My wife was emotionally stressed yesterday and literally cried for hours. Today she woke up with severe throat pain that has us thinking about a trip to the ER. So you know of a correlation between stress/crying and delayed throat pain?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

HI
Thanks for using healthcare magic

I think, she has underline depression. In that case, even for small pain or physical symptoms, she could react more. Better to consult a psychiatrist for her mental status evaluation and that would help to you to find out the exact reason behind every symptom.

Thanks
