I suddenly in the middle of the night wake up and try my hardest to breath both trough my nose and mouth in sort of a panic mode thought I wasn't scared when I probably should have been. Anyway after the incident I noticed that my esophagus is more open and swallowing food and breathing is much easier. Is this a temporary effect of my body releasing a lot of adrenaline? Let's see if it is still there tomorrow. My voice is also stronger now and I have more sensation.

It may be an allergic edema. Test for allergies.

Actually adrenalin will do the opposite, inhibit the swallowing reflex and digestion but expand your lungs for easier breathing. You probably had an asthma or panic attack. You should certainly check up on that.

I have that problem unfortunately several times a year.  In my case it is caused by excess saliva entering my lungs while sleeping due to swallowing issues I have.  What you describe does sound a lot like an aspiration incident.
