I think I swallowed a small lizard
I m scared that I swallowed small house lizard-- i keep my bottle on ground n it has no cap. A small lizard has been roaming in my room n bathroom since many days.. tonight when i drank water i felt as if i gulped something that struck my throat.. I immediately thought its that lizard.. after that i am having anxiety attacks- feeling acidity, hot etc
Plz suggest what to do? Though it is unlikely that the small lizard could have crawled the ground and reached for my bottle.

It is highly unlikely for it to have entered the bottle and you drinking it without noticing it first. Common House Lizard are non poisonous and non venomous. So, you don't have to worry even if you have swallowed it, which again, seems unlikely.
For anxiety, you can consider Propranolol 40mg stat or Alprazolam 0.5mg stat.
