What Does A Lump In The Throat Indicate?

I have what feels like a lump in my throat when I swallow. No Pain. If I were to indicate where I feel the lump (externally, although the feeling is internal), it would be in the nook just above my clavicle off slightly to the right side. As best I can tell, there is no swelling or palpable lump externally/on my neck.
