A member asked:
I feel like there's a lump in my throat a little above my adam's apple when i swallow about the size of a pill. food hangs in that area as well. help?

Lump: If food is getting stuck there, it may be a narrowing or a pouch/hernia. Arrange for a scope of that area to see if there are any anatomical reasons for your symptoms. All the best.
