ok let me get this straight...your throat feels like it is tightening and closing.
meanwhile your butt had something done to it that tightens it. theory of relativity or fluke.
in order to rule out physicalities have you had a doctor look in there. Like have one do a swallow test. They give you progressively less liquid based items and xray your esophagus as they are being swallowed. One of the things they are looking for is a web. Webs can form across your esophagus and food can get stuck on it and you begin to feel like the food is coming up. When you finally get to the end of the test where you are to swallow a pill, you can watch it go traveling down your esophagus. Then it stops. Just sits there in your esophagus like it forgot which way to turn. Many times it is stuck in a web which is virtually invisible. Easily remedied.
so there you have some possibilities anyway. good luck.
