How to deal with bad acid reflux symptoms?

I have been dealing with acid reflux for years now which got worst and I'm starting to take meds for it, this is my 4th day taking the pill, but I'm still having a sour taste in my mouth and eating foods that feels like it got stuck in the middle of my throat or the side, coughing sometimes too, even though I can eat and swallow drinks just fine. It's a scary feeling since it happens after I eat and I feel like I might choke and it can last for a few days before I find relief again. Does anyone get the same symptoms and know how to manage it well? My anxiety makes it worst and I feel like going to the ER and let them do an x-ray test to see if I do have anything stuck, but I don't want to be wasting their time everytime I feel that sensation and they never find anything stuck. I'm not sure what to do to stay calm about it.
