Hi sheyla, you're definitely not alone, I'm going through this same problem too and it's 24/7 for me too. It honestly sucks, I suffer from generalized anxiety disorder and LPR/GERD. I just got diagnosed with GERD from my ENT doctor, as one of the severe symptoms can be sensations of feeling food stuck in the throat and it makes me panic as it feels like the food is actually there and my throat would feel tight as well and my anxiety is making me think I might end up choking on death, if I don't go to the ER, when I end up going for some reassurance, the doctors examine my throat with x-rays and find nothing stuck in the pictures. I'm so sorry you're going through this, but you're mostly fine and I hope you feel better soon, take care.

I had the same for ever and I was always told anxiety or acid reflux, this went on forever.
Finally a dietitian tested me for low stomach acid and she was right. She gave me Betaine.to take and I improved within 2 days.
Best of luck!
