Although sometimes i'm stuck with this feeling of a lump for several days. I should also mention that when this lump occurs, when i am originally swallowing during my meal i have a hard time swallowing, this then results in this lump. I hope i explained this well. Dear Kim, Some patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease have the feeling of a lump in the throat without a mechanical cause for the difficulty in swallowing. This is called globus sensation.
Some patients can pinpoint the area in the chest where the food gets stuck.
