lump in throat

Has anyone else been diagnosed with Globus Sensation and if so what are you doing about it

Hi, May I know how is it like having Globus Sensation? I’m worried for my mom,

It’s a feeling of having a constant lump in your throat. It lasts for a while and then goes away only to return. It doesn’t affect swallowing and obviously there isn’t actually a lump in your throat it’s just a feeling you get. It’s extremely annoying.

How are you? You still have those feeling in your throat? I hope you’ll feel better

Unfortunately it comes and goes especially at night but I will just soldier on.

Hello! I’m no expert but I’ve recently been diagnosed with Laryngopharyngeal Reflux (also known as LPR or silent reflux) & I have mucus in the back of my throat too. Also anything I’ve read about LPR mentions one of the symptoms being a feeling of a lump in the throat. I’ve been prescribed a PPI drug called Omeprazole & told to take 5-10ml of Gaviscon Advance after my evening meal. I’ve also reduced the amount of acidic food in my diet & don’t eat late at night - this has all helped. Loads of advice on the internet - here’s a link to one of the NHS leaflets

I too believe to be suffering from this awful sensation! It’s driving me totally crazy and making me really worried, I’ve had two endoscopies in the last year and both have been clear.

Mine doesn’t specifically effect my swallowing but I certainly feel it more after eating / swallowing a pill. Is yours the same ?
