Certain foods?: You mention a constant choking feeling when you eat. Is it with certain foods or all the time? This is a complicated problem that requires physician intervention. Glad you have an appointment. Best to have a professional look at it.

Go to urgent care: You need more immediate attention than waiting for an office visit. Throat swelling can be a serious issue (even deadly). If you can't convince your doctor to see you now, go to an emergency room or urgent care clinic now.
