Hi.
This is very true that severe anxiety and stress can cause the problem of Pharyngeal Spasm or in-coordination of the muscles related to the process of swallowing. Go for Barium studies under fluroscopy control in real tie and will prove the diagnosis. Also get an endoscopy done to rule out growth , cancer and so on.
