HI
Well come to HCM
This is very common phenomenon but as matter of fact nothing would be there in esophagus but this is pseudo impression of something stuck inside, some time this may be due to hyperacidity, do not try anything because as long as you try to get the thing out it would be more panic, just relax, you can try some antacid with some local anesthetic effect, if this does not comes around then it may need some investigation to clear the doubt, hope this information helps, take care.
