I feel a lump of mucous as if is stuck in my throat all the year around. what could be the cause?

It sounds like you..: Are describing 'globus hystericus' which is commonly caused by laryngopharyngeal reflux. This can be treated with diet changes and reflux medications. There are also more serious things that can cause a lump in the throat and should be evaluated by a physician if it persists.
