No: Generally a feeling is not always indicative of anything. You may have any number of things going on. Get to your physician, explain your concerns and find out what is happening. They may order some tests or imaging to determine what your situation is. You really can't figure this out without a medical encounter.

Globus Hystericus: is the condition is what doctors commonly call “Globus,” and patients call a “lump or foreign body in the throat." The patient is suffering a lot of discomfort and there is no need for the condition to persist as it can often be treated successfully. A first step in diagnosis and treatment is to see your PCP.
