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

Dear Colleen, I have been suffering a severe case of globus. Been through all the tests gastros snd ENTs can do. Most recent ent PA prescribed three meds meant for asthma. One made me jittery and heart palps, inhaler. The other a nasal spray. Ok w that but no relief. Third is a ampule I need to mix in distilled water and use neti pot to clear sinuses. No results.
Speech therapy ✅
Anything else you know to do? Direct me to a specialist for this debilitating condition?

@mtnmama70, such a frustrating and debilitating situation. If you would like to request an appointment with Mayo Clinic, you can get started here: https://mayocl.in/1mtmR63

Finding an ENT that knows anything beyond what was in the text books years ago is nigh impossible in our area. So pretty much on your own to experiment with various "cures". I feel anyone who has been diagnosed with GERD and perhaps had gallbladder removed, even years ago, may find some interesting info in reading up on that scenario. Pair GERD with sphincter issues along esophagus/stomach and you get silent Gerd. You may need to go back to a knowledgeable Gastro dr. All that "acid" ending up in the throat is the problem some people have. Inflammation caused by acid, results in more and more mucus...a never ending supply. Good luck and you are right it is a maddening issue to deal with.
