Smalhotra, there is a common symptom of anxiety disorder called Globus Hystericus which is the feeling that you have a lump in your throat. In fact there is no lump in the throat, it's just anxiety mimicking a lump.

What you describe sounds like Globus Hystericus. The 'medicine' to overcome this is to accept the feelings for the time being calmly and without fear. Fear is what maintains the feeling, accept the feeling and eventually you recover.

Also if you haven't already you should talk to your doctor and be examined for your own reassurance.
