Hi gretch how you feeling better I hope you describe it yourself as having a felling or a sensation so your saying to yourself inside its anxiety and with anxiety you fear the worst when a simpler explaination maybe the answer if your getting these feelings and you havnt as yet seen a dr get an appointment to see them for a checkup just to reassure yourself is something bothering you at the minute if so can you sort it out the lump feeling is an anxiety symptom you can get them just below the throat and chest they are nothing but an anxious feeling a dr once asked is it a feeling or is it a pain but see a dr just for a check and tell them how you feel it maybe acid reflux try an indigestion med as for how long does it last it may go away in a few days or last as long as you are worrying about it and I'd say stop worrying but that can be easier said than done you may have anxiety we all get it at sometime in our lives if you've had it a while the drs will sort a treatment out for you anxiety isn't life threatening but it can lessen your enjoyment of life . So get to the docs and get looked at and get back to living all the best. Mel
