Has anyone experienced a condition called Globus pharyngeus?

Posted by maku @maku, 4 hours ago

I choked on a sunflower seed about two weeks ago. Of course I coughed and coughed and ended up with what felt like a lump in my throat. Ended up at ER-had MRI that showed nothing. Doc gave me liquid prednisone which helped a bit but today it’s back to the way it was. Only drinking ice water everything else irritates my throat

Anyone experience this?

I experienced that once. Like I couldn’t swallow down whatever it was. My doctor must have know me well. He suggested “globes hystericus”. A term no longer used but still Google-able. I WAS feeling very anxious. It went away later that day, never to return. There was nothing in throat.. I don’t know what I believe.

@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.
