This means that something brings you to the verge of crying.

DESPITE whatever you may have seen in a dictionary!

but ком в горле means you're on the verge of crying

but not the one about the дыхание - here and on another post your translated

перехватывать дыхание is close to иметь ком в горле.
When you see a beautuful sunset you can't have ком в горле

There’s a difference between something taking your breath away and something bringing you close to tears. If the sunset reminds you of something touching, tender or sad, like the loss of a loved one, it can certainly make you want to cry.

All right, thank you.

Also “a lump in a throat” doesn’t say anything.

I thought it was a very moving speech. It almost brought a lump to my throat. — Для меня это была очень волнительная речь. У меня прямо комок к горлу подкатил.

Otherwise it's difficult to give a translation because in Russian the phrase sounds impersonally if I can put it this way
