Need to get examined
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.
It seems like a lump in your throat. It may or may not be ominous. But losing weight is definitely not good.
You need to get examined by a doctor. He will do some tests like blood tests, Imaging of the throat and chest (like X-ray and CT scan). If need be, endoscopy may be done to see if there is some structural abnormality.
You also need to take high calorie food to gain some weight. You can also try nutritional supplements like ensure, etc. These can be taken along with regular food and will provide the extra nutrition.
Take care
