Anxiety can cause a symptom called Globus Hystericus: the feeling that you have an obstruction in your throat. It's quite common, I experienced it 30 years ago, you are about the eighth person to mention it on this site this year.But you shoud see your doctor and get him or her to take a look at your throat for reassurance and to confirm it's not something else unlikely though that might be.

Hi. I've had that feeling before, many times. Sometimes when I eat, it feels like I have something stuck in my throat. I get nervous, but when I "calm down", I don't feel that anymore. I've also had problems throughout my life w/ this. Nothing has been physically wrong w/ my throat; it was anxiety. I have pretty severe anxiety, and it affects a lot of my day. I would also suggest that you see a dr to make sure there is nothing physically going on.
