What Causes Painful Throat?

I have a sharp pain in my thoart that usually only happens when I am laying down. It feels like something is poking me in the throat, right in the middle (i.e., not on either particular side). In order to sleep I have to prop me head up with 3 or 4 pillows. The best way I can describe it is - the way your eye feels when an eyelash get under your eyelid, that how my throat feels. Occasionally I can feel it at other times, but most of the time it s when I am reclining..
