how come when you swallow something in a weird way, it feels like that object is still in your throat?

This happens to me most often when I take my morning meds. I guess I’ll swallow in a weird way and then it feels like I have a pill stuck in my throat. I just finished dinner and now it feels like there is a piece of pork in the back of my throat! Y’all ever experience that? Why does that happen?

I’ve noticed that some pills are really hydrophilic, i.e. they absorb water easily and swell up when they do. I can easily imagine one of these getting stuck in your throat for a few seconds until the next time you swallow spit.
