Suggest Remedy For Sensation Of Air Bubble Stuck In Throat

I am 50 year old female, 5 5 and about 180lbs. I recently (about a month) have the sensation of an air bubble stuck in my throat just below my collar bone. It happens randomly including while I am eating. Sometimes it is a gas bubble that comes out as a tiny burp. Other times not, just dissipates on its own. And, there are times that it feels like something just violently sucked an air bubble out of me in that same area. There has been no pain associated with this, just 6 or 7 (1 to 10 scale) pressure discomfort.

HI.
As it is already one month and your symptoms have not improved.
it is better to get an upper GI Endoscopy and CT scan of the chest and neck to rule out cancer, or a out-pouching of the esophagus called a diverticulum. You may also need a thick barium study to see for the motility and structural damage to the esophagus.
Once a proper diagnosis is done it is possible to treat the cause accordingly.
If all the tests are negative meaning normal you need to consult a Psychiatrist to evaluation and treatment .
