Hi.
Thanks for your query.

Hiatal hernia can make you feel like you have a lump in your throat.

One of the commonest reason is esophageal reflux causing the acid to come up the esophagus up to throat.
The acid in it causes the symptom of feeling of a lump in the throat.

I hope this answers your query.
