It is certainly possible that you could have something in your esophagus that is blocking you from swallowing certain things. You could also have problems with swelling in your esophagus that can cause food to get stuck when you were eating. Finally, with patients who have an anxiety disorder there is a possibility that you have a psychosomatic issue but either way I would recommend you be seen by a GI doctor who would likely recommend an endoscopy.
