Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
You attempted suicide and luckily failed in it.
By doing this, you must have injured your throat, wind pipe, neck muscles etc.
So your symptoms are mostly due to this suicidal attempt.
So consult ENT doctor and get done endoscopic examination of throat today rule out internal injury.
Proper rest will cure all these symptoms.
You should also consult psychiatrist for suicidal tendencies.
Get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on it's solution.
You will need anti depressants and anxiolytic drugs to prevent such future suicidal attempt.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
