Can my throat swellup to the point of not breathing with gerd?

The week of may 30th i started having problems with my neck it felt like i had a knot in it and the air that i breath in was hot and thick i kept feeling like i was nervice and i wanted to get sick shaking and wanting to cry all the time . I was having problems sleeping to where it felt like i couldnt breath unless i moved a sertin way. Well about a week ago it got realy bad during the day so i went to the emergancyroom told them wut was wrong they did chest exrays and a blood test and said they thought it was my throid when all the test came back they said nothing showed up in the thyriod blood test and that my thyriod was very swollen and that they couldnt do anything about it and told me to see a thyriod specialist i did the next morning he did a test and said i had realy bad acid reflux and told me to get prilosec and wrote a priscription for prevacid.   The thyroid specialist did a test stuck a scope down my nose and throat. My thyriod wasnt swollen at the time but i told him that it was realy bad the day before he said sence the hospital did a blood test for my thyroid and couldnt find anything wrong with my hormones that he wasnt going to do another one. I did start feeling better after the medicine but then the last 3 days on my neck twords the bottom on the right is swollen. I can look in the mirror and see it.  Also i get a tingling in my mouth and hands and they start shaking realy bad. I was thinking about going to another dr on monday to see what they have to say cuz this is realy getting to me.
