What disease is choking when you are anxious?

Ask
Hello doctor! I had an anxiety problem about 6 months ago. Now that anxiety problem has been resolved, but every time I think about it, I get a lump in my throat, difficulty swallowing. This phenomenon has occurred continuously since then. I am very sensitive to anxiety and stress and now even the slightest problem makes my throat choke. This symptom occurs many times a day. So the doctor asked me, what disease is it when I have a stuffy throat when I'm worried? I look forward to hearing from the doctor. Thank you.

Hello doctor. I often feel choking, my voice vibrates like I'm about to cry when I'm nervous, when I feel helpless. In addition, I also have palpitations, heart palpitations when I have to speak in front of a crowd, even when I have prepared well, I am still very nervous. Please consult your doctor. Thank you.
