Sorry to hear, that is a scary fear! I can relate because my panic brings on a fullness feeling in my throat and when its really bad, I can not eat either. Have you tried meds to reduce your overall anxiety/panic. I know that for me I avoided them like the plague until it got too much for me to handle, now I have been on them since June and am confident I will find what works best for me. Sending you support!
