My symptoms started about 1 week ago I had a burger for tea and ever since I have had a lump sensation in my throat sometime feels like my airway is closing off been so anxious thinking I have cancer as my throat feels a little sore and food feels like it's getting stuck. The gp thinks it's all anxiety related but I'm not convinced the symptoms don't come and go the lump is always there it feels better in the morning think this is partly to do with the fact I'm not constantly trying to swallow, I also at times feel like there something being stabbed between my shoulder blades I'm taking reflux meds but nothing works. This is getting me down I'm only 33 and it's taking over my life .

Are you a smoker? If not, it's unlikely for you to get throat cancer and anyway it doesn't come on that quickly.
Try just to relax and do things you enjoy, that's what worked for me. If it makes you feel better, by all means get a 2nd opinion from another doctor.

Globus sensation is just a fancy way of saying they've got no idea.
It could be lungs, spine or neck.
I recommend getting an MRI scan.

It's easy for people to say stop worrying it's just not that simple. I was advised to cut down on coffee as caffeine dries throat makes it feel worse. My throat usually feels worse at night bast in morning.

sometimes just getting out for a walk or gentle exercise. Though you may not feel like it it does help.
I hope you feel better soon.

What you have in your throat does sound like globus. I kept going to the doctors and they were awful telling me there was nothing there. I took myself to a & e and they referred me to ENT to have a camera up my nose and down my throat. It was clear and they just gave me omerprazole for acid reflux. The pain in your chest could be indigestion and hearing about your recent events it may be caused by stress.
It's a really awful thing mine has come back in the last day it feels like I'm choking. Have you tried gaviscon tablets?
Just keep telling yourself it will go eventually. That's what I do x

Hi Chandra ... did you get any help or answers? I have an ENT appointment on Monday but it's in morning when my symptoms are at their best ... I'm so afraid they are going to tell me it's my imagination or something. I feel like I can't breathe almost!
