For the past 2-3 days it feels like something is stuck in my throat, what could it be? I'm not having any stomach problems or vomitting so it's not GERD. Should I see a doctor, I'm scared it might be some cancerous lump

    There is a condition called  Laryngopharyngeal Reflux , that is similar to GERD, and it feels like that there is a lump in the throat. 

    With LPR, adults may have heartburn or a bitter taste or burning sensation in the back of the throat. But they are less likely to have such classic signs of GERD.

    The most common symptoms include:

    Excessive throat clearing

    Persistent cough

    Hoarseness

    A "lump" in the throat that doesn't go away with repeated swallowing
