Hello all,

Do any of you ever get this feeling like there is something stuck in your throat when you swallow or burp? I keep getting the sensation like there is a piece of food or something that didn't go all the way down. It's so annoying. Anyone else get this too?

    Yup. Have had this it's quit annoying. It's called a globus sensation. I get this when I'm extremly anxious and I have gerd so if I get a flair up of acid reflux I get it to. Warm wash cloth on neck helps some.

      Yes I have been anxious and I also have acid reflux flare ups sometimes. I have been having heartburn for a few days now. So weird.

    I'm 51 and had it for 7 months then it finally went away. Globus Hysteria, anxiety makes it worse. try to relax, and dont worry it's just another annoying symptom to deal with. hugs

      Yes I had it for most of the week and then, "poof" it disappeared yesterday in the middle of the day so yes it's hormones doing their thing.

      Yes. I've had it. Both globus and last year I had a wonderful bout of what is caused LPR...basically acid reflux in your voice box! I had a chronic cough and the feeling like something was stuck in my throat. I saw an ENT for it and sure enough was told it is very typical for women of a "certain" age or anxious people.

      Globus will go away on its own...just try not to stress. Once you have it once and it goes away, you will realize what's happening if it comes back again. If you're really concerned, go see an ENT...he'll snake a little camera down your nose into your throat and you'll have some peace of mind within seconds.
