Globus sensation: Anyone else have a lump feeling in their throat?

Had this for 20+ years. Had progressed to feeling of wet phlegm in nasal area throat. Constant need to clear throat. Never get anything up but an occasional spit of nothing. Been told gerd or silent reflux. Tried nasal spray, Prilosec, incline pillow. Nothing helps. Diet? I have no idea how to go about it an healthcare in the US is at a minimum. They give you a pill and forget about you. This condition is ruling my life. It is unbearable.

I feel the same way you do! It's horrible. I've had mine a couple years. I've had so many tests done and all those do is find other things wrong with me. I am trying a gluten/dairy free diet, not too hopeful but trying. Sorry you've been dealing with this so long

Sorry to hear your story. I have something similar and not been able to get rid of it either. I tried the spray, and treatments for GERD as well. Clearing my throat often seems worse after meals and is less in the evenings. I'm also on pills to reduce stomach acid as the blood thinner I'm on can make my stomach bleed. What seems to be lacking is a cure--pharmacueticals never seem to cure anything. I developed my problem after I had a stomach ulcer back in 2017 but that does not seem to be related as once cured the same issues persist. Perhaps it's food related, I really don't know. Given that half the time we don't know what's added to our foods these days...
I hope you find some relief/solution. I've just learned to live with it for now.
