Will my throat pain ever go away?

I know I have done the dumbest thing here and I'd rather get critized or be maked fun of because what I did and get a hopeful and chance of an answer that will maybe make me worry less than to hide my shame and make a pain that could've been treated untreated.  Its because 5 weeks ago I felt like a heart attack like feeling that ended up being anxiety but during the whole week, I felt like not happy nor not sad but everything felt pointless.  I was scared that I needed to commit suicide and I was afraid I might have to.  Then I said that it doesn't make sense because if I felt the need I wouldn't think twice.  So I wanted to know to test myself and to proof myself that I wasn't suicidal so I just said to myself like what if I choke and feel pain, would I have the guts to let go or just let myself pass out and maybe die?  As soon as the pain started though, I did stop...The thing is, I squeezed like a muscle or vein part of my throat and it hurts now when I gulp, not trouble digesting food but just it hurts when like you gulp occsionally or touch it.  I read about how it has to do with cancer or heart attack in the right area but I don't know if I read that cancer or heart attack in the right area causes you to feel pain or leave a lump like the jvd or having to jvd causes you to get like cancer or heart attack in the right area.  It doesn't hurt when I breath or enough where it really hurts that makes go ouch just pain like.  Will it ever go away or the chances of choking that hard.  It wasn't hard where I couldn't eventually hold the pain anymore it was before that I let go.  Now I am scared dumb and scared..it was just to see if I was suicidal but never thought of the pain, just thought I'd suffer from gaining my oxygen back.  I might be scared I might die now or maybe because of me having anxiety as it is.  The pain still goes after 2 days.

Thanks

It is entirely possible that you bruised a muscle or pulled a tendon, and yes, both of those should heal, in time, by themselves.  Just avoid too much poking and trying to recreate the sensation, because that will only prolong healing.

I'm more concerned about the state of your mental health.  It seems you do have a lot of anxiety.  Are you seeing a therapist?

Yea, I hope I didn’t gain more thoughts because I do feel worse, not the throat pain, the thought.  Thanks
