Weird swallowing thing

I constantly feel like I have something stuck in the back of my throat and so need to swallow all the time. When I do swallow there isn't actually anything to swallow, so I just keep swallowing air and end up feeling bloated. I don't know if there's actually something wrong with my throat or if it's a nervous/subconscious thing. It seems to come and go but has been happening for at least the last few weeks, as far as I can remember. Any ideas?

    I had this on saturday after I had been to my mums but I think that was because I haven't been well and have been coughing loads, then my throat became really dry and I'm allergic to her cat which didn't help either!

    Hmmm i have had a similar thing when i was anxious, kinda feeling like there is something there in the lower part :/ It could be a cold coming on or maybe anxiety (if you suffer from that?)
