Has anyone experienced a condition called Globus pharyngeus?

@hopeseeker22 I’ve had this for two weeks. The only thing helping right now is crushed ice and sipping on water. My regular doc gave me Lorazepam for the anxiety which really helps. I hate that panicky feeling struggling to swallow. I have an appointment with Gastroenterologist but not til mid February. Thanks for your answer.

@maku Ouch! So sorry. I took rather large tablets once, and they could be CRUSHED, one at a time, say between two spoons, and mixed with applesauce or pudding. Amazon sells actual pill crushers they day will reduce tablets (not enteric coated or capsules - which I guess can be pulled apart, but don’t try to crush what comes out)- The pics of Lorazapran I looked at seemed scored. So maybe crushed well - almost to powder. NOTE:,The warning on the add in Amazon said that crushing certain tablets will reduce their efficacy. Maybe a pharmacist would know. Have you been administered the “swallow test”? It would help alert a person if he/she might risk ASPIRATING liquids or food. Something no one needs. Good luck?
