Globus sensation?: Do you experience the feeling of a ball or lump in the back of your throat that you have to swallow past? If so, this is "globus." alternatively, you may have laryngo-esophageal reflux without heartburn. Sometimes, the actual swallowing mechanism may be impaired due to "spasms" or dysmotility. A gastroenterologist is your next point for evaluation.

No: The feeling of a lump is frequently due to laryngopharyngeal reflux. (LPR) If a good exam was done I wouldn't worry about throat closing. Sometimes LPR can cause laryngospasm, a brief, scary feeling of closing of the vocal folds. This lasts less than a minute but feels like longer. Talk to your ENT about this if it happens. Treating the LPR usually gets rid of such spells.
