Wa-alaikum-assalam. The symptoms you described are very typical of functional or psychogenic dysphagia, which often develops after a frightening choking episode. Your barium swallow being normal is very reassuring because it means there is no physical problem with your throat or swallowing muscles the difficulty is coming from anxiety, muscle tension, and the brain’s fear response. This condition is uncomfortable but completely treatable, and many patients recover fully through a combination of CBT-based therapy, gradual exposure to eating, relaxation techniques, andneeded anxiety medication. Online sessions are effective and can be done even while studying abroad. The weight loss happened because anxiety reduced your intake, and now that you have already gained from 52kg to 57 58kg, it shows your body is improving; once the anxiety settles more, you will be able to eat comfortably and gain weight again. You are not alone, your throat is healthy, and with proper therapy this problem can be resolved 100.
your issue trsolvable.

Your symptoms are consistent with functional or psychogenic dysphagia, which often develops after a choking incident. Since your medical tests are normal, the difficulty you feel is related to anxiety and fear while swallowing, not a physical problem. This condition is treatable through online therapy using CBT, relaxation techniques, and gradual exposure to eating. With proper guidance, most clients recover fully and regain normal eating habits and weight. If you wish, we can begin sessions to help you manage this and improve your confidence while eating.

Of course it is treatable but the treatment of choice is face to face treatment as sometime some manipulation of laryngeal muscles is required. If u r far away then consult some professional online. Hope it will help u
