Globus sensation/epiglottis/ hard to swollow NOT COVID

So I'm having this issue. Ive had it before. It hurts. I can't swollow without my epiglottis scraping causing a lump in my throat because it's sticking straight up and won't relax and go back to it's normal position. It can be caused from anxiety.

I've had it since Sunday and it won't go down. I'm trying everything, drinking, stretching ect.

Anything would help.

This photo is exactly what's causing my discomfort, mines just not as high for a photo.

Can anyone please tell me they know what the fuck I'm talking about. I told my grandma who's a nurse and she just babbled about covid, wouldn't listen to me and it's fustrating.
