Hi, I have also had this lumpy sensation in my throat and found out that it's called Globus pharyngeus.
Apparently it's a very common symptom of anxiety caused when your throat muscles tighten.
I'm sure that it's nothing to worry about but it's a good idea to get your GP to take a look just in case.
I found that warm drinks (not too hot or milky) were quite good for relaxing my throat and found that gentle neck and shoulder exercises helped too ( googled exercises to relieve globus symptoms).
Hope it goes away soon
