Brief Answer:
The condition needs to be investigated.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone through your query and understand your concerns. Let me assure that if there is something wrong with your body, rather than getting anxious about it, the problem needs to be identified and treated. Rest assured that with the right treatment, your cause of anxiety would go away and so it would be meaningless to grow anxious anyway.

Regarding your difficulty in swallowing (dysphagia), the condition needs to be evaluated and I would prefer visiting your GP rather than the ER. An upper GI endoscopy or a barium meal X ray would provide valuable clues for diagnosis. Treatment with depend upon the underlying condition.

I would insist you to go through the following:
