Much better now

I had what the consultant called globus, and it was causing me anxiety, especially when in the dentist’s chair tipped right back, as it seemed to close off my nasal airway.

The dentist took an x Ray 15 months ago and showed me a black area which she said was infection. She said I needed root canal. I said ‘ no way. I’d rather have the tooth out!’ ( With the globus problem I couldn’t be in the chair for ages in end, having to sit up to just breathe every 5 minutes. I was prescribed antibiotics incase it flared up. A whole year later, back in February  of this year, the tooth was throbbing.... so I took the antibiotics. By the end of that week, I’d noticed a huge improvement in the globus problem, but it gradually came back. In March I persuaded the dentist to extract that tooth. I’d always felt that the globus/phlegm that seemed to have claws gripping my throat, stemmed from sinus or thereabouts....

Dentist kept saying ‘I doubt that!’.

The tooth was taken out, and the problem, has not been a problem at all since then.

A tooth root problem may not be the problem for everyone, but it seems to have been the cause of mine.

I can now lie in bed with just one pillow too 😀👍

Good luck everyone
