Calm down: Please see your doctor. They will tell you everything you need to know. Once everything is evaluated then they can start treatment.

Get EGD...: Food sticking in the esophagus is potentially a sign of a serious esophageal problem and warrants further investigation with endoscopy (egd). See your GI doctor. Good luck!

Why?: You seem quite knowledgeable. However, there is something called medical student syndrome. Everytime a new disease is read about, the student worries about having it. Symptoms are often non-specific. Material getting stuck in throat could be caused by an unrelated esophageal problem, but there are many other causes. A rheumatologist should be able to clarify, but first, esophageal studies.
