Choking sensation anxiety?

Posted , 2 users are following.

I'm getting a sensation in my throat that feels so tight as if someone is choking me. I ate a piece of chocolate m & m candy that wasn't fully chewed right and I'm scared if it went into my lungs or is stuck in my throat. So far I haven't even choked or anything and it has been a good few 20 minutes now. I don't feel the sensation either in my throat so I feel like it isn't there. Should I be worried and get some help?

    you are OK. If it went into your lungs you would be coughing and have difficulty breathing.also you’d be coughing if it was stuck in your throat and also have difficulty breathing. even if it was in your throat, it would melt from your body heat.

    drink a couple glasses of water. have some soothing herbal tea

    You are most likely overthinking this. If you’re able to breathe then you are OK.

    do something else to take your mind off of it.take care
