The main reason you feel like your throat is clogging up is because it kind of is, but stress (or very strong emotions) is why it is closing up. When you feel sad or stessed our body tends to tense up all or most of our muscle and that includes the ones in your throat. It is a ring of muscles that help you swollow that, when tensed up, make you feel as if your throat were clogged
