    Hi I don’t have much advice, just to say I’m in the exact same situation as you. It’s taking over my life and I hate it. Sorry that your feeling the same

    I’ve seen 3 doctors and been to A&E and spoken to 3 doctors on the phone.. all are convinced it’s Globus.. it does sound like Globus but because I have bad health anxiety I’m not convinced and am thinking the worst! But they won’t do any further tests because they don’t think it’s anything bad. They are just sending me for cognitive behaviour therapy and putting me on anxiety medication. Have you been to the doctors?

      fingers crossed my feeling i had for several months has gone .. my anxiety medication helped massively which i really didn't think it would but it did it took the feeling away! are you on any anxiety medication? if not i really would give it a try! i honestly thought it was something awful and i thought it had nothing to do with my anxiety turns out i was wrong and the doctors were right. i hope this works for you xx
