I'm freaking out right now. Is this something serious?

Today I just ate a warm pop tart and I chewed it about 20 times before my throat made me automatically swallow a piece I was eating, I started panicking because I'm worried if it might be dislodged in my throat now since I'm not sure if I chewed it all the way, when I went to spit the rest out of the sink, it was already very liquid the food I chewed on and not sure if that also means I have chewed it really well and my body decided to make me swallow it? I'm freaking out though, since I'm not sure if I should go to the ER or not, I drinked water though shortly and I didn't choke or cough on it. I do have anxiety and GERD. Does my case sound like an emergency?

    Hi there, I doesn't seem like anything serious or ER related. Just monitor yourself for the next few days. If you have trouble swallowing or pain when doing so than maybe a visit to the doctor's my bit worth it. I hope you are feeling better by now,
