Acid Reflux: It is best to get checked by your local ent. I hear this complaint a lot. It is "laryngospasm." the number one cause would be acid reflux. Simple over the counter meds like Zantac (ranitidine) and/or Prilosec can be very helpful.

Globus: Throat pressure is commonly called globus pharyngeus and is most commonly caused by acid refluxing to the back of the throat. It can also happen with post nasal drip from allergy and less frequently neurological disorders cranial nerves 9 and 10.
