Can GERD give you tight throat sensation and choking feeling sensation? I went to the ER since I thought food was stuck in my throat, but they never checked the inside, but said I can eat, drink and talk. Which means most likely nothing is there?

Throat always feels tight (choking feeling) when singing, talking not talking etc and the intensity varies daily and has been persistent for at least a year. What could this possibly be? Is it anxiety issues? It goes away with a muscle relaxer?
