Some sort of gunk/lump in throat

Hey all.

For the past day or so I've been dealing with this really weird and uncomfortable sensation right at the back of my mouth. It feels like there's some sort of gunk back there, lodged almost on the back of my tongue. I even slept and it was still there! I've tried swallowing, scraping the back of my tongue, even trying to hork it up and altho I taste a bit of mucus sometimes (I have post-nasal drip) the sensation stays.

I don't know if this is related or not but yesterday I had this awful sensation of my throat closing up. I got really lightheaded afterwards. I thought I had an allergic reaction to something and went to the ER; they thought it might have just been a very bad episode of acid reflux (which I also have).

Any thoughts? It's quite an annoying/freaky feeling :(

Sounds like just plain Globus to me, or maybe catarrh

I'm also worried about getting water up my nose and having it go into my lungs -- I wash my lips/mouth out a lot and I've had a few close calls x.x really worried about aspiration

edit: ugh, my throat kind of hurt after I sneezed as well. Things keep piling up always right before I'm gonna sleep..
