Why is it hard for me to swallow i choke when i eat went to dr nothing wrong with me i know it's anxiety but how do i get rid of it?

Need second opinion: before attributing it to anxiety. I suggest you see an ENT doctor first. If you are cleared by the ENT, then cognitive behavioral therapy will help you address this symptom.
