Why do you sometimes get phantom feelings in your throat/oesophagus?

You know when a pill goes down the wrong way and you chug heaps of water but you can still feel it lodged in your throat even though you know it’s not there? Or recently I had a stomach bug and I happened to have eaten noodles before the onset of vomiting and after my throwing my guts up I swear to god I had a noodle still lodged in my throat for hours afterward, despite trying to wash it down with plenty of water. Why? What causes this feeling? Trauma to the oesophagus? Some weird mind body miscommunication? Was there really a noodle stuck in my throat for half the night? Plz explain.
