Feeling like choking on things and like something that blocking my throat, uncomfortable
I am 25 years old, since last week I’ve been feeling uncomfortable on my throat. It started when I went to a barista-like making coffee class. So after learning making coffee, of course you get a chance to taste it. So I took several sips and when I go back home, I started to feel uncomfortable mainly on my throat. This is not the first time because I felt like this too last time I drank a thick coffee several months ago. So two days after that, I ate nasi lemak with fried anchovies and I choked on a small anchovy and from that moment I have been feeling uncomfortable on my throat until today I haven’t see doctor because I am afraid. I am scared if doctor detects I’m having serious disease or anything dangerous. Please answer this and please help.
