I was eating and felt like something got stuck in my throat. I went into the bathroom to see what it was. I took my finger back to behind the tongue and felt a hard, flat, vertical.. something that felt like a piece of cartilage there between the back of my throat and tongue. Any idea if this is normal or should I be worried?
