This sounds very much like Globus Hystericus, a very common symptom of anxiety, I had it myself 20 years ago. It's like a feeling that something is blocking your throat. It's annoying but completely harmless. Just accept it for the time being, live with it but without stressing about it ir constantly testing to see if it's still there and it will pass before long. The kess attention you pay to it the quicker it will go.

I don't know if you've seen your doctor about the abdominal and chest pains, for reassurance you should. But the stomach is the main organ of the body to be affected by anxiety disorder and the chest pain sounds like muscular tension.

Just don't worry about it, accept it and all these aches and pains will pass of their own accord.

I am reallay worried about it and hope its just anxiety and nothing else

I have the same problem with swallowing and feeling something in my throat. At one point I couldn’t eat properly as I couldn’t swallow.
