Hi,

The commonest causes of feeling of lump in throat are as follows:
* Lymphoid hyperplasia
* Elongated uvula
* Psychological as your doctor told you

Yes, the best way is to get Endoscopy done to see for an actual cause and if everything is normal then anxiety is the cause. If there is an actual cause then you can be treated well. Certain foods and beverages can cause such symptoms and if you know any then do not take again. Take plenty of oral warm fluids. Chew food well before swallowing.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. T. Chandrakant, General Surgeon
