What Causes Difficulty In Swallowing And Discomfort Below The Jaw?

Hi,

I have been having the following symptoms for quite some time now.i use to smoke and quit about two weeks ago.when i swollow food or liquids it sometimes feel as if something is stuck,when i swallow saliva after the food, the sensation is gone.tonight i had n glass of wine and it felt as if my tongue tightened up with mild discomfort underneath the jaw.when i go to sleep and wake up the following morning, my throat feels perfectly fine.Ive had these symptoms for a long time now,and a bit freaked out.They come and go,but more prominent during the day.
Any advise?
