A general TW for mention of medication, health, and choking.

I've been struggling with Anxiety for over 10 years now &amp; have gone through periods of being on and off medication for it, but this is by far the worst it's ever been. A large trigger for my anxiety is the feeling that I'm going to choke or that something's stuck in my throat, &amp; then I go into an anxiety spiral as a result. I had an incident where I was home alone &amp; a pill got lodged in my throat &amp; since then I have an aversion to taking pills. However now - or I should say about 8 months ago - my symptoms came on very suddenly &amp; unexpectedly. I was eating breakfast when I felt my heart rate increase, I got dizzy &amp; felt like I was going to pass out. Ended up driving myself to the ER and they essentially just said "nothings wrong but here's a prescription for hydroxyzine" and I was on that for a few weeks until I connected with my PCP. We figured out a plan &amp; I went back on my anxiety meds after not needing them for the past 10 years, but it's not enough. 

Long story short: My diet has been extremely limited over the last 7 months or so where I'm only eating yogurt, pudding, ice cream, and tomato soup - basically if I try to eat anything other than these self-determined "safe foods" I get the sensation that a chunk of food is stuck in my throat and even though I can breath &amp; talk, I get sent into a spiral and I have to calm myself down. I went to an ENT &amp; have an appointment scheduled in 2 weeks for a swallow test but I'm just tired of being limited to the foods mentioned above. On the rare occasion I go out to eat with friends or family, everyone comments that I haven't eaten and it's really getting to me now. Is there something legitimately wrong with my throat, or is this all just my anxiety? I'm desperate for advice from others that may have experienced a similar situation. Thank you.
