For example, if you apply for unemployment in March 2012, the base period would be October 1, 2010 though September 30, 2011 (in that example, since the last complete calendar quarter was October 1, 2011 through December 31, 2011, the base period is the four quarters preceding that one).
Rest assured that when anxiety causes a lump in the throat, it's not dangerous and it cannot stop you from breathing or prevent you from swallowing. It may feel as though you need to swallow multiple times to get the food down, but it's still just anxiety, and it can be treated by curing yourself of that anxiety.
Many of us may wonder what the exact causes of phlegm in throat are, often considering it to be an underlying problem of a deeper cause. However, phlegm is always present in the body and only becomes a concern when there is an overproduction of it. In such cases, phlegm is also mixed with saliva. 2  In case you are coughing up phlegm that is brown, you may also notice that it is grainy in texture. 3  This means that dust and some other foreign matter are mixed with the phlegm. 4  This is often caused by damage to cilia, which generally happens with COPD patients.
