Start with a GI specialist then. They might refer you to ENT to rule out throat stuff at some point, but if you’ve answered No to the questions I’ve asked you, it’s not likely to do with upper esophagus and above (as you’ve probably figured out by now).
Is it just solids at this point? Any difficulties with liquids? Have you tried anything with the consistency of a smoothie or pudding?

I developed the same symptoms while going through cancer treatment. Doctor said acid reflux was inflamming my lower esophagus causing it to tighten. Food would get stuck. Drinking water did not help. I had to heave on occasion to dislodge the food.
The doctor prescribed Protonix as an acid reducer. It has helped me greatly. He did say an over-the-counter acid reducer would work as well.

Did you feel like you had acid reflux?
What is odd I never have any symptoms, unless this is one. No upset stomach or pain in chest, ever.

Check with a medical professional before something serious (choking) happens to you. Don't trust any of the TD regulars on this.
