Yes! I choke while taking pills sometimes. I've done it to the point where I throw up. Awful!

This happens to my brother all the time. He’s just stopped eating certain foods after a while.

I have this happens. I have a tendency to eat too fast and to not chew my food thoroughly enough.

This happens to my dad and my brother-in-law. My dad has a lot of scar tissue in his esophagus from long-term acid reflux that makes it narrower than it should be. My brother-in-law has an autoimmune disorder that causes an allergic reaction to several different types of food. His esophagus swells and it can be hard to swallow food.

I've heard that feeling like you have a lump in your throat is a symptom of anxiety.
