Sounds like a stricture--narrowing in the esophagus which can cause food to get stuck. Don't know if you could choke to death from it since you can still breathe when it happens.

I was attempting to paint a picture of a food lump barely small enough to pass into your throat, but not enough to make it into your stomach and imply that a very small increase in size or contour could stop it earlier. (ie. asphyxiation)

Does that not track?
