People who don't have an anxiety disorder will always be very logical.

And when you are logically thinking, you believe the same thing

But when your anxious mind is working, you have irrational fear. That fear leads you to believe you will choke.

It's nuts to someone who doesn't understand what you go through but it is very real to you.

It's your anxiety that drives those thoughts. Not you.

You have to treat you and anxiety as two separate things.

When you think you are going to choke, remind yourself that it is your anxiety thinking, not you
