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.
