Not sure if this belong heres----

Every time I swallow I have this discomfort in my throat, as if something is in the way. My throat doesn’t really hurt, more of an annoyance but I have been taking cough drops with zinc in them. Before my throat started with this discomfort, I was having a lot of heart burn. Could this perhaps have irritated the throat? It’s just really annoying, it’s to the point that I don’t want to swallow because it feels weird and it scares me.

Any suggestion would be great! Thanks!!
