Hi.
All the history you provided is most suggestive of a condition called Globus Pharyngius. This can be confirmed by an ENT Endoscopy. This can occur due to lymphoid hyperrplasia, enlarged part of the pharynx, polyp from nose tangling in the throat.
IF necessary CT scan be done to confirm or rule out such a probability like Cancer or so.
As you have no other problems of pain, swelling or breathing , all the investigations if come normal this is globus and you may need an assistance of a Psychiatrist.
