Yes, yes, yes! Its like you've forgotten how! God, did I HATE that. You're sitting at a restaurant, right? Trying to swallow a gob of -mashed potatoes. They feel dry, Argghhh! So you throw water in to slop 'em up a bit; then swallow the water but the stinkin' potatoes are still there! So now, you push them around your mouth with your tongue, trying to swallow little bits at a time. Oy! I hated that. One of the best reasons ever to be done with panic. Now I can eat again!

Gotta run, time to fix dinner. Left-over sweet 'n sour pork with rice and peas. Yummmm!

Trust me; deal with the panic and this will go away!

Yes, as Venora wisely says, get checked looking for something phsyical, external, etc. But THEN, when they say, "everything is normal," I can agree that those symptoms go along with anxiety, panic and the usual group of suspects, at least, they did in my case. And it really, really felt like something was down there. Sooooooo...

work on the anxiety, and you'll take care of that lump/thing/presence in the throat.

Trust me.
