Need to see doctor: This can be due to too many things to list, but the most likely one at your age is a hiatus hernia, when a portion of the stomach moves into the chest. But it is really something that should be looked at by a trained professional: evaluate for heart, lung or stomach issues. There is treatment available.

Globus: The sensation of something in your throat or esophagus is termed globus. The most common cause of globus is reflux or anxiety. Its not clear from your history thats what is going on so ii suggest you see your doctor for an evaluation. Good luck!
