I always have slime in my throat (since i'm young) and it sometimes feels my throat is blocked by a "ball". sometimes it's hard to breathe and swallow?

Evaluation: To best address this you need evaluation by an ENT or GI physician who can actually look into your throat endoscopic ally to look for a number of possible conditions. You may also need some esophageal function tests as well. This should be able to give you some insight as to the cause of these symptoms.
