Inconsistent pain (feels like a ball stuck above collarbone) instant sharp pain mostly after soda. goes away with burping. what could it be?

Transient spasm: This fleeting symptom may be a spasm of the lower throat or upper esophageal musculature. Perhaps a gas bubble from the soda gets temporarily trapped.
