If this continues, or it interferes with breathing, you should see your physician right away.

A manometry test should show if you have any problems in the throat. The test shows the motility (muscular strength) of your oesophageal muscles and any breaks or weaknesses in peristalsis down the throat.
Your GP wouold probably need to refer you to a department of gastroenterology at a hospital for a full assessment. That department then may ask for a manometry test if they feel that is indicated in your case.
I would not put off discussing this with your GP.
Hope that helps.
