What Causes Feeling Of Something Struck In Throat While Having Bronchitis?

I have a bad case of bronchitis and have this feeling that something is stuck in my throat. Went to hospital yesterday where they took an exray and found nothing there. They said this is a normal feeling that some people have and it will go away with time. I am literally freaking out..

Hi.
This is in fact common with patients of Bronchitis. Globus Pharyngis is a known entity and presents in patients with Stress and Anxiety.
Another reason is in patients of Bronchitis the air passage is altered , either it becomes dried to give this feeling or secretes too much thick tenacious liquid to give the feeling you have. Get this confirmed by ENT Endoscopy and the treatment will be according to the findings. IF something is there you need a long treatment of 3 weeks . If everything is fine, consult a Psychiatrist.
