You may have reflux which can cause difficulty swallowing. There may be a mass /bone spur that in the lying position may compress and cause difficulty , though it might cause other issues as well and you only note difficulty swallowing. Would f/u/w/ gastroenterology and get endoscopy and imaging( CXR, ultrasound/ CT neck.) https://www.healthlinkbc.ca/health-topics/tp23477spec
