Very worried about my health right now and can't stop panicking. Should I worry?

I have both anxiety and acid reflux, I went to the ER when I had sensations of food stuck and throat pain, got checked out without no x-rays or scope and they told me if something big how the food I was describing was lodged into my throat, I would be choking by now and would have to arrive in an ambulance. They said my oxygen level was normal at 99, I told them sometimes when I drink I feel it through my chest and sometimes back up into my esophagus and they answered by saying GERD can do that too, not just with food and it's normal to feel water go through my chest when swallowing it down, as long as I'm not choking or coughing from it. The doctor recommended me to see a therapist for my anxiety and told me to relax that I'll be fine since everything seems to be normal. But I have severe anxiety disorder and I'm still worried something could be stuck inside, even though I ate perfectly fine yesterday, just the water part coming back up is my concern as well. I'm really anxious right now and don't know what to do. I'm now having swollen lymph nodes on the lower part of my jaw, both sides. I speaked to my doctor about this and he doesn't think it has to do with the food possibly stuck in my throat, since the swollen lymph nodes would not appear weeks later and thinks it's something else, should I trust him and stop panicking so much? I've always been a healthy person so I'm really worried.
