Something stuck in my throat

[Earthmum]

Ok if anyone can help me with this one I would be so grateful !
2 nights ago I had a sandwich and the bread was crustyish after I finished eating I had a feeling as if I have a food particle stuck in the right side of my throat, below where the tongue ends, does that make sense?
It doesn't hurt to swallow but I can feel it there most of the time, I'm now worried that the "food piece" will dislodge and cause me to choke in my sleep :(
Or I will get a severe infection !!
I'm hoping I may have just scratched it, but my ' Anxious' mind is creating all sorts of horror stories, can any one help please!!

Ive had this before.. was eating something and a bit got stuck.i panicked so much i was convonced any second i was going to choke to death, for about 4 days i felt like it was still there kept swallowing obsessively trying to get rid of it.. when i come up with a new worry and forgpt about it it was gone! Must have been my anxiety

Littlemissworry thank you for your response and yes I'm the same too really worrying but like you said soon as another worry comes along I will forget about it, it's all so exhausting !

I had and still have this feeling of something being stuck in my throat. I went to the doctor and ENT and they stuck a snake camera down my nose and looked in there. There was nothing at all. I talked to the ENT and he said anxiety could definitely play a role.

Same here! Felt like something was sitting on the top of my tongue! I kept swallowing and swallowing and drinking loads! There was nothing there, it eased off after a few days. Read something online today about what it could mean and its back again!!

Im a Speech and Language Therapist and part of my job is assessing the safety of people's swallow, while deep down I knew there was nothing stuck in the back of my throat ( and still do ) it doesn't make the feeling go away or the panic!!

Vitali and Irish89 thanks guys for your replies good to know I'm not the only one...
The sensation disappeared but I now have found as soon as I'm a little stressed and anxious the feeling comes back yet I can't think to my self it's probably psychosomatic instead I start thinking about what I had eaten earlier and maybe now I have something wrong with my throat where each time I swallow a bit of food gets stuck, ( yawn)
But I think i know deep down its part of anxiety ..
Blimmin' tiring this whole nervous illness malarkey !!!
I wish us all well ;)
