Have Pressure In Throat. Diagnosed With Muscle Spasms In Neck. What Is It?

I have this pressure in my throat... near my adam's apple. I noticed it about a week or so ago after bench pressing. I went to my doctor who said that I have no lymph node swelling or any noticeable lumps in my throat anywhere. I am not coughing and my voice is the same. It is better in the morning, but becomes irritating by evening. He said that I have muscle spasms in my neck. He is a DO, so he adjusted my neck and spine, and it seemed to help.. but the next day the same issues are occurring. I am concerned about throat cancer. I am 43 and quit smoking 4 years ago after smoking for 20 years. What could this be? HOw can I rule out throat cancer?
