I've noticed whenever I eat breads or potato foods too fast, I get a tight feeling in my throat. Once I drink water it goes away?

I wouldn't call it an allergic reaction because my throat isn't actually swelling or closing, but it's an uncomfortable tightening feeling when I eat them too fast. I've noticed this particularly with things such as dinner rolls or french fries. Sometimes it's if I eat any food too fast. I stop this feeling by drinking water and I can feel the tightening feeling coming on and the water stops it. If I don't get water in time, the tightening feeling gets intense and once I can swallow the water, I get these hiccup-like reactions in my diaphragm. If I drink some more water it usually goes away soon after. Does anyone know what could be wrong? I have GERD if that helps. Thank you.
