General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

According to history provided you are choking sensation could be because of panic attack induced by anxiety and so for that you must get treated for anxiety problem.

yoga and meditation will be beneficial for that and you can consult psychiatrist for your behavioural counselling.

kindly let me know whether you are having dry cough for wet cough and to rule out respiratory problem you can investigate with chest X-ray and your auscultation should be done during physical examination.

if any specific respiratory course found then it should be treated accordingly otherwise no specific management done apart from treatment of anxiety.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
