Hello ladies, Has anyone ever felt like they swallowed a squirrel? Lol! For the past few days I have a feeling in my throat that I haven't swallowed my food completely. Any thoughts?

Hey Becky, not a squirrel but a lump feeling. My mom had this too. All had to do with anxiety for us. Once I stopped obsessing about it, it went away. It's funny how stress and anxiety can form other problems. Don't worry too much about it.

Hi Becky - I had this for a bit even when I drank fluids, it felt like I wasn’t really swallowing & it just like stayed there in my throat - At the same time, I was experiencing a lot of bloat & the top of my stomach seemed to just sit there under my rib cage like Humpty Dumpty (if that makes sense). Those symptoms weren’t long lasting (thank god!) but did happen during the height of my anxiety episodes. So not sure what came first - it’s crazy, I know -

🤣No squirrels, but I almost always choke to death taking my vitamins...gel caps. I have acid reflux and swear my throat is smaller 😂

Hi Becky,
What you're feeling is a symptom of anxiety, and it's called globus sensation. It's tight muscles in your neck and throat area. I can't link you to anything here, so do a Google search for "globus sensation cure", then click on videos. The one that worked for me was the 7th one down. That should help get the squirrel out. 😉
I hope you feel better soon.

Perhaps it's different because I use a phone, but the one that helped started with linden. If I put the whole name, it will get moderated.
I hope this helps.

Thank you for a well needed laugh!
Two years ago I had that constant lump in my throat, if that's what you are referring to. It came after my anxiety was full throttle, so I believe that is globus. I had a sore throat for about a month and I was so worked up about it being some sort of cancer, and then the lump started. It wasn't fun. Best I can say is try not to worry about it and it will just take some time to calm down. I even had a scope down my nose in to my throat to make sure it was OK.
