I would change doctors. I have had my throat stretched for the same thing. It helped. I also have a diverticula (small pouch) in my esophagus which food gets stuck in sometimes. When I was told I had this, I said, oh so when it feels like food is stuck in my throat it really is? and doctor replied yes. The found this out with an upper GI I believe. But my doctor listens to me, and we discuss medications if any etc. Good Luck.
