Could Feeling Of Lump On Throat And Heaviness In Chest After Eating Mean Partial Choke?

i was eating soup and i started to swallow before i chewed it properly; i forced the food back up and spit it out, but i felt a heavy sensation in the chest, my ears started ringing and became filled with pressure. it felt like i could not breath properly, but after a few minutes i was able to catch my breath, burp, talk, drink water but the senation of a lump in the thoat and heaviness in the chest is still present. Why do i feel this sensation? Did i choke partially? Should i be worried?
