Painful throat spasm?

[talkingchips]

Been getting them a lot more recently, I don't know quite how to describe them, the sensation almost mimics the same sensation you get when you squeeze your eyes really tight, but the pain/spasm happens right at the base of my throat. (Usually where I feel my palps; which is why I am getting anxious over them). They are often dull so I don't pay much attention to them, but sometimes they are quite sharp that it startles me from whatever I am doing.

I almost want to say they are digestive related because they are more frequent after I've eaten, but then again I sometimes get them when I am laying down for bed.

Anyone else get these? Or have an idea about what they could be?
