Pain in throat upon vomiting

So a while back I had to drink this barium stuff for my UC. Well the doc noticed my throat/esophagus doing something weird almost like it was doing something extra in the movement of swollowing. He asked if i had issues with swollowing my food or feeling of something getting stuck. I said no. Well a couple months later I threw up one morning and it felt as though I had a huge lump in my throat and it hurt. I thought maybe my throat was at a weird angle or something so i tryed to straighten it out by simply leaning forward more (not so erect) that did nothing. Anyone out there experience something like this?

Your dr may be wondering if you have Esophageal spasms .  Maybe he saw on during the test.    With this condition people may feel like food gets stuck in the throat.  It is not a one time thing.   It can also cause a discomort in the chest and heartburn and regurgitation of food.  Have you have ever swallowed wrong and feel that pain in your throat and chest?  Thats what esophagal spasms can do.    When you threw up that time you may have had irritation from the contents you threw up. Its often acidic and can hurt your throat.
