lump and burning feeling in throat

Fo the past 3 or 4 months I have had a feeling of a lump in the Right side of my throat that bothers me when swollowing. It comes and goes. It does not hurt. I also have a burning or dry feeling in that same spot from time to time. The past month I seem to have developed more mucus than usual and I am constantly clearing my throat. Sometimes when I yawn I get a bad taste in my mouth.  I also get a lot of anxiety since this began. recently My chest has been feeling uncomfortable like there is  fluid or something in there.  I am a nonsmoker for a few months now and i don't take any medications.

I have the exact same thing happening to me. I suffer from sever anxiety and take prozac20 mg per day and tums before bed. Did you ever figure out what this was/is?

probably post nasal drip.  see your doctor for nasal steroids.  until then try nasal saline rinses and antihistamines.
