    hey wilson,

    how are you getting on?? I feel like i am in the same boat ish. 4 weeks ago i got the globus feeling and panicked GP treated me for reflux and anxiety put me on omeprazol and sertraline. first 2 weeks were hard but the globus disappeared after a week or so, but i still have a dry throat and mucous feeling and when i eat i feel things like bread and pills need lots of fluid to wash them down from throat to oesophagus. i have had mild chest pain and also muscular back pain. spoke with GP today who is going to speak to GI, she stated she wasnt concerned. Had bloods taken all fine, i also suffer from health anxiety and i feel for my husband and kids as i am a nightmare just now!

    How are you now, I totally get this, I was told I had globus after visiting an ENT doctor. that was 18 months ago, I still have this awful sensation. I tried to ring the doctor yesterday to try and explain yet again that this is not going but was holding on the phone for 15 mins and never got through. This is worrying me sick. I also have health anxiety and social anxiety which obviously making that call is huge for me.

    Have you figured out what it could be? I also get a strange sensation when I touch my neck like an after feeling. This is so weird.
