I have that trouble sometimes. My co-worker's husband has it. It's from reflux causing a narrowing of the esophagus.

Benign esophageal stricture typically occurs when stomach acid and other irritants damage the lining of the esophagus over time. This leads to inflammation (esophagitis) and scar tissue, which causes the esophagus to narrow.

Benign Esophageal Stricture: Causes, Symptoms & Diagnosis
I have not been to a doc over it. I just take a zantac before bed or sleep sitting up. If I do that I don't get reflux. Unless I eat spicy food late at night. Then it takes a huge amount of zantac to keep the refux at bay even if I sleep sitting. No more AYCE Indian buffet.
