Do you think it was from the throat or from say your gums?

The throat is one of the most delicate tissue areas in the body with many blood vessels at the surface. One could simply cough and draw blood. The air and mucus is like a wind tunnel at the speeds it goes passed this tissue. A little blood is a common phenomenon. I wouldn't be surprised if it cleared up of its own accord.
If the scratchiness and such continues, then quite possible an infection as Hat said, but cross that bridge if and when.

There are several things that put ypu at risk for brain aneurysms. High blood pressure, poor arterial vessel elasticity, certain meds and more. One of the most important factors is a family history of aneurysms. They can be slow leakers with symptoms depending on where they occur in the brain and cause cause vision problems, headaches and soooo much more. This is where a critical review by a physician is very important.

So the only person I know of in my family that had this happen was my aunt who was older and out of shape when it happened to her. My mother and father as far as I know have not had issues with it

As Hat said, headaches and ocular-based disturbances are the key factors to any issues with the brain. Neither on their own are not something indicative of anything too concerning - although should be addressed if they persist.
Sorry to hear about the anxiety coming back. Unfortunately, these things are a rollercoaster. You are not alone. I for one, am on my third day with no outside work, so I have been stuck indoors since Friday evening and starting to get cabin fever. I have been out for a walk every day, but it just shows how important getting out and having some social interaction is important.

Not quite how I would have put it.
Something will have triggered the anxiety - always does. Just that we often don't see it. Myself included.
The way you will get through this is to just ignore it. Let it be. The more you fight it, the worse it will be and the longer it will stay.

I will try for sure to just let it be

I can say I am more aware of when I am becoming overwhelmed now then I was before. Recently have had wayyy to much on my plate and I have noticed the physical anxiety symptoms crawling back (heartburn, acid reflux, jitters,etc...) The problem I am having at the moment is not matter what I try to calm myself I cant seem to do it. Any experience with this ? What can I do ? Is it one of those time things we learn about from Hat where I just need to give it time to burn itself out?

Oh AJ I wish I had an answer for that. Just my gut feeling is that you still have to much stress going on in yoyrc life and that really doesn't help. With coping skills you can slow it a liottle but the real help comes in lowering the stress levels. What you need is a 6 month vacation. lol

Agree with Hat here - but your own admission, you have a lot on your plate. It is going to happen.
By comparison, I have had 2 weeks of non-stop work and the end of this week really saw a return of my anxiety. Nothing like it was, but it "creeps in" like you say. We need to heed these as a warning.
The problem as I see it, is that we have so much going on that we don't have time to consider anything else, but as soon as we stop, there is a void that is not been attended to, and it is then filled with thoughts that get out of control as we have conditioned our brains to work overtime. There needs to be balance, and months on, I am still working on this!
You are best to keep talking about it as you are, as it makes you aware of it and thus are more likely to do something about it.

Just remember, you are vaccinated so iof you do get covid it should be managable.
I have not gotten the vaccine yet I am struggling cause I read stories of people dying from it but people are dying from Covid too. I am so stuck I talk to my nurses and drs and all of them is leaving it up to me. I am struggling with this. Sorry

Covid kills about 0.3% of unvaccinated people (Delta variant around 0.9%). That is about 3000 in a million with about 45000 getting long covid or about 9000 in a million for the Delta variant and around 120,000 with long covid.
Moderna and Pfizer vaccine kills around 0.00001. That is around 1 in ten million.
Easy choice.

To echo FH's post:
Per the CDC out of 310 MILLION vaccine doses (about 210 million people), there have been just shy of 7000 deaths reported (0.00003%). However healthcare providers are required to reports any deaths following the vaccine even if it's unclear if the vaccine had anything to do with it. So someone could have passed away from old age after receiving the vaccine and would still be counted in that number just in case.
Your chance of dying from COVID while unvaccinated is many times higher than having a bad reaction to the vaccine. Also if you were in the military I assume you received a number of mandatory vaccinations. If you didn't have any adverse reactions to any of these, it's unlikely you would have one to the COVID vaccine. The J&J vaccine in particular (while not quite as effective against catching the Delta variant) is built on the same technology as many older vaccines so unlikely to cause any issues to someone who's had other similar vaccines before

The data from May was that 9 million doses had been administered and 28 blood clot cases. More predominant in women than men. Only 6 of those 28 were men. So HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY unlikely.
Bad reaction typically takes the form of allergic reaction. If you've never had an allergic reaction to a vaccine or other medication before, it's very unlikely you'd suddenly have one now.
I'm really happy to hear you're considering getting the vaccine. The Pfizer and Moderna have been found to be more effective in preventing infection than J&J but even the J&J will protect you and keep you from going to the hospital.
