Heartburn: For you, two likely candidates. It may be your heartburn. You are on a medicine for this, but maybe it is not controlling it adequately. Look at your diet, consider increasing to twice a day (pantoprazole) for a few days. If not that, maybe it is anxiety acting up (lump in the throat) and maybe your zoloft (sertraline) is not at the proper dose.
