Throat tightening: If your connection is correct and your symptoms are connected to food ingestion you will definitely benefit from a medical evaluation, ideally with your doc. Your symptoms are suggesting either an anatomic, for example diverticulum or functional, for example spasm-esophageal abnormality. Based on the assessment by your doc a further referral to a gi specialist may follow.
