Tight throat, chest pain and food stuck in throat feeling

I've been dealing with GERD for 2 years now, it wasn't that bad for me, but it did get worst over time where I had to start taking medicine now to try to get rid of my symptoms. I also have health anxiety that worsens my reflux symptoms. My symptoms are mostly when I eat foods that trigger it such as cereal, tough meat, fried foods, the food will feel like it's stuck in my throat, even though it's not there and my throat would feel so tight like if I'm about to choke and die, it just feels like someone is strangling me, when I panic and worry about dying, my throat gets even more tighter and I would get shortness of breath, I also deal with heartburn, my throat inflammed, chest pain, and difficulty swallowing. It's so hard to deal with this. I'm taking meds now, hoping they work out for me. Does anyone else experience these symptoms as well?
