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

Posted by Karen @fue, Apr 23, 2022

As far as I know I am not anxious about anything. I am retired. I don't have too much pain from my polyneuropathy at the moment. However, I do seem to suffer from a globus a lot of the time. Is this common with anyone else please?

@gis58 I’m experiencingglobus right now and anxiety may have made it worse. I’m taking an anti-anxiety med which helps a lot.

Very interesting. Thank you for this info. I would appreciate an update in another 30 days as to whether or not the globus feeling has returned.

@eileen206 I have globus also but as a result of choking on a sunflower seed several weeks ago. I had an MRI but it showed nothing. My doc gave me liquid prednisone and it helped for a few days but didn’t last.
I’m curious also about the Prilosec working for you. I sure hope it does! I’m going to talk to my doc about it.
Thank you and good luck.

I have laryngopharyn reflux contant feeling of a lump in my throat, with throat clearing and coughing. On Proton pump inhibitors, not much help. Dr. appointment coming up and asking for a scope. Hope something works out for you and take care.

I know a couple of years have past, so not sure you will see this. My 14 year old daughter began feeling the choking sensation in January of this year (2025). It stopped for 2 1/2 weeks and restarted and has not stopped since first week or so of February. She has an EOE diagnosis officially as of March of this year and we have the eating issues under control through diet. But the choking or globus sensation has not stopped and is debilitating. We saw an ENT, he was not helpful. She is on budensinide steroid and a PPI, they are not helping with the globus. She is on a severely restricted diet for almost 2 months now of eating just two foods to see if it is a food allergy. She had MRT testing to find foods causing inflamation. Is there anything new on your condition? I wish you well and hope you found a solution.

@mk505 Thank you for the comments. I’m still dealing with it but food is not an issue for me although I can only eat soft foods like yogurt and cottage cheese. I have to constantly drink water to soothe my throat so of course that interferes with sleep. I have an appointment in three weeks with a gastroenterologist and I’m nervous to fine out what he thinks. Your daughter is so lucky to have you. My heart goes out to both of you. Take care.
