Anxiety? reflux? gerd? advice please

Hello. I need advice from you lovely people. I experienced my first panic attack 2 weeks ago, and felt that lump in my throat . Heart was racing and i was so scared i had to leave work. Went to hospital next day bc my throat was still messed up with some chest pain /pressure involved. then sunday came , had another panic attack and went to hospital and everything went down hill. Anxiety ( which is something i never experienced before) took over and i been so hyperfocused, over worrying, and feel everything in my body so intensified. i cried every day until last friday . it was a night mare. i had to call my mom and girl friend just to cry to them and cry to my girlfriend at home more than 3 times a day. i think i got a small hang (keyword: small, i still get these attacks and still over worrying and have bad thoughts still) and now this week i been dealing with acid reflux. i didn’t eat at all last week. now that im eating i feel my throat more and chest more. including stomach. it scared me cuz idk what tf it could be? but now i cant sleep sometimes, i wake up at a certain time, my throat sometimes burn or when i inhale i feel a burning sensation. My stomach csnt let me eat the way i want. i’m trying figure out is this anxiety tied with gerd or acid reflux? sorry for the long post, last 2 weeks been super stressful to me and all i think about is “am i having a heart attack or stroke?”

Thank you.
