Detailed Answer:
Hello

There can be many possibilities for your feeling, the most common being a swelling in your throat.

The common cause for swelling can be a sinus infection , smoking , exposure to environmental pollution/smoke/dust and acid reflux from the stomach.

Out of these one of the most common reasons would be acid reflux from the stomach causing a swelling.

The best thing would be to meet your ent doctor , he will do an endoscopy of the throat and find out the cause for the sticky feeling.

he may also ask you to do an xray of the neck for a better understanding of the cause for swelling.

Please dont worry and meet your ent doctor!

Take care
