Hard to know . . .: Since your studies are all normal, it is unlikely that your symptoms are due to a physical blockage. There are, however, problems that we refer to as 'functional'. Esophageal spasms is an example. You may also want to research the term 'Globus' or 'Globus Sensation'. Best of luck

Swallow test : May be needed where you actually swallow different food types (ie soft, firm) to see if that stimulates a different result. Also you may need pressure sensor placed to detect esophageal pressures as well which the GI doc usually does. A CT of the chest may also be needed for further evaluation.
