Lump in Throat Feeling, Worsens when Smoking

I'm a 23 year old Caucasian Male in good Health other than this condition. I have been using Marijuana for over 10 years, the first seven were very heavy use 3+ times per day. I have now quit using Marijuana and am currentley using Prilosec OTC twice a day to control Acid Reflux.

My condition started about three years ago. I thought I had swallowed a portion of a toothpick (about half). I forced myself to throw up with a pencil, I have never thrown up like I did then and I did this for about 30 minutes several times. This is what I believe triggered the condition in my throat.

From then on I've had a weird feeling in my throat and particularly on the right side and it gets much much worse when I smoke Marijuana. I should also mention this feeling is not a pain at all and doesn't really cause me discomfort unless I smoke Marijuana then I have problems swallowing sometimes. Its more annoying than anything its always on my mind, I wake up with it, go to sleep with it, it drives me crazy at times literally. Also, in the morning when I wake up I almost forget about it like its not there but as I'm up longer and longer it appears more. Some days are better than others as well. When I swallow it almost feels like the right side of my throat doesn't work. This feeling gets worse or intensifies when I smoke Marijuana, but is always there regardless of smoking or not. The feeling also makes we want to constantly swallow every couple of seconds. Its almost like I feel something is in my throat needing to be swallowed or cleared but will never go down. Whenever I eat solid foods this feeling goes away for about 10 seconds.

I have never personally used Homeopathic Medicine before. But My Girlfriend has and suggested I try. Does anyone know what help me. Please let me know if more information is needed. I greatly appreciate any help on this matter.

Thank You, Craig
