Need advice please anyone

Ok So 3 months ago I got choked on milk and it went down the wrong way. I coughed and cleared and it still felt like there was more milk that just wouldn't clear over and I felt like it was sitting on my trachea for a few days which then led me to panic, clear and cough some more and then Long story short this led into focusing on my throat waiting for that to go away. Two weeks Later that led me into going to the ENT specialist (2 diff ones actually) to figure out why I was still paying attention to it. Afterwards they tell me I have silent reflux. Never had it before this "incident" that I was aware of or if I did I never paid attention to it. Well after that here I am 3 months later and I'm still hyper focused and aware of my every little feeling in my throat. (My mind wants to remember what it felt like before but I don't remember what it felt like before I got choked bc I didn't ever notice it because I didn't have a reason to so im still paying attention to every feeling, swallow, sensation, I'm scared to eat because of how my Throat will feel afterwards, everything. I'm having trouble and it has turned my life upside down especially with my family. The specialists and other drs have all told me I'm fine but my focus being on it as well as most of my thoughts are now centered around this. I'm so scared because I try to pay it no mind or "not think/worry" about it but it's not working. It doesn't matter what I'm doing my focus on it's there even if I'm talking. Especially sitting down, watching tv, or trying to go back to bed. I've never had something like this happen and it's a nightmare. I wake up in a panick (4am) and it's the first thing I think about/focus on as soon I open my eyes which makes me dread/fear the day because then It happens all day and it's Gets bad until evening time because Around bedtime I know I get to sleep which is the only time I don't pay attention to it. It's awful. I don't understand what's happening to me. Am I going to be like this forever? How do I fix this? I miss eating good meals with my family and watching movies and being myself. I don't know what to do anymore and I feel like I'm losing my mind and my family. I need my life back. What started as simply getting choked On milk has led to this, reflux diagnosis, etc. Someone please tell me some advice. I've been like this since the day it first happened and maybe the anxiety about it is worse now. I need to figure out how to stop this mess... ASAP 😥😓
