Neurological feeling of lump in throat?

Three days ago my hell started with having a feeling that I have swallowed some hair that got stuck in my throat and on the next morning it was gone, late afternoon when I came home and had argument with my mother I started feeling it again, on the next morning i went to my doctor and she said it is neurological problem as there was nothing and I`ve been having for years every now and then a feeling like something gets twisted near my throat and I have to pull my skin in order to fix it and allow breathing,but for the past couple months I`ve been having it almost everyday. She prescribed me some herbal calming pills, because I'm only 21 years old and could not give me anything stronger. Next day I ate some crisps and thought a piece got stuck in my throat and I think I had a panic attack,because I thought I`m going to die and gone in complete panic mode. Today I feel just a lump,which is making it hard for me to swallow and a little painful.. I need second opinion to believe it is just a neurological problem and some advice how to deal with that and what specialist to consult or any other little information and advice about that would be extremely helpful,because I feel like I am either going to choke and die or go mad and I can`t stop asking myself, why is that happening to me? It is giving me extreme depressive thoughts and I need some hope to go back to my normal life.
I know I should get my mind off it, but it seems very hard for me to ignore the fact I can barely swallow..
Very,very thankful for your spent time and attention!

Check out Globus sensation. It is caused by stress..been there done that..manage stress and it to will subside. Do you have acid reflux as well? That kinda went hand in hand with the globus I had..
