Always feel like something is stuck in my throat?

Ok let me start off by telling everyone that I am an average build 23 year old male. I went to the doctor back in October I believe because I felt like I had something stuck in my throat and I had a very minute ammount of blood in my saliva when I spit. Anyway, he told me I have a sinus infection and gave me antibiotics. Now I have always had allergies and plenty of sinus infections and I knew this was no sinus infection. So I take the antibiotics and nothing changes. So I go back to the same doctors office to see a different doctor. This time because again I feel like something is stuck in my throat and I have a small dull paint to the left of my sternum. The blood in the saliva has stopped at this point. She decides it was acid reflux and gives me a months worth of Protonix and schedules an appt. for me to see someone in gastreology. So I've been taking the protonix and I went to see that doctor and he said he thinks I have acid reflux. I've been taking the Protonix as directed but still all the time I feel like something is stuck in my throat. Feels like it's right behind my tongue in the tonsil area. Sometimes it's on the left and sometime's it's on the right but it's always there. I drink plenty of water and the only other thing I drink is sweet tea and that's every now and then. I've drank it my whole life with no prior problems. Also I've noticed that it seems like something slimy. Almost like mucus drainage or something. I have been able to pull some of it up out of my throat and spit it out but it's clear with no color or spots or anything. No relief comes from that. Sometimes I can make it go away for a couple of minutes if I brush the back of my tongue. I took some Ztus expectorant last night hoping it would release it but no luck. Does anybody else have this problem and what can I do about it? I'm going to schedule an ENT appt. next week. There is no pain, it just feels like there is something stuck there much like when you try to swallow a pill without enough water. It makes me worry when I go to sleep because I'm afraid my throat might swell up causing breathing problems. Thanks in advance.

WOW! I am have been experiencing this for 3 months now and it is very uncomfortable! I burp alot then it feels like there is something in my throat and constantly going down my throat. I have not went to a doctor yet but I am going. I sleep pretty good at night but I don't understand where this came from. Even early in the morning I will do alot of burping!!! I drink plenty water and have always eaten healthy so I am totally clueless!!! But last night I went to bible study and a minister suggested healing so I said ok!!!! She put some anointed oil on my tongue and asked me to swallow as she prayed. I felt better immediately!!!! FOR REAL!!!! This morning it felt ok but I find chewing peppermint gum helps and drinking peppermint tea also. I have faith and believe GOD can do anything but fail and I believe I am healed!!!! I will follow up with ENT just for confirmation.
