Lump in neck/throat when swallowing

[wickedlovley28]

Sometimes when I swallow food or drink It feels like there is a lump in my neck or throat. It doesn't hurt or feel like I can't swallow. It's stops after I'm done eating or drinking & that's the only time it happens. I don't have any choking sensation or anything else. I haven't noticed any actual swelling either.

Hello

It's a common symptom with anxiety I think most sufferers have experienced it at some stage.

If you are in any doubt get it checked by a doctor, just to put your mind at ease.

At least 2 people report this symptom of anxiety here each week. It's called Globus Hystericus and it can't harm you. Get your doctor to check your throat for reassurance.

If you just accept it and stop fearing, stressing and obsessing about it then it will soon pass. I had it 25 years ago.
