What Are The Symptoms Of Cricopharyngeus Spasm?

Hi, I think I have Cricopharyngeus spasm because it feels like there's a lump in my throat which tends to feel better when I eat but returns straight after meals. Could you please advise me as to the diet to follow and medication to be used to treat these symtoms and also tell me if the medication would only be available with doctors prescription?
