@fue, globus pharyngeus, or a lump in throat sensation, is fairly common and its origins may be unknown. @nick52, @adunniade, @juleszs, @novajeff may have experiences to share.

Karen, do you have a history of GERD or acid reflux? Have you considered speech therapy? Speech therapist can help with globus.

I have had globus the lump inthe throat for 6 years. I have had endless scopes with ENT and they never fond anything. In 2017 i had a partial glossectomy for a small cancer on my tongue. My tongue has stayed sore with Geographic tongue znd general soreness from nerve damage. It creates a feeling of mucus znd my mouth is either too wet ir very dry!! Nobody can give answers and i struggle every day 24/7. When i eat my tongue goes very gritty.
Anybody else got these problems

@colleenyoung

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?
