Dr. Brian Heaberlin (Ear, Nose, and Throat doctor from Lexington, SC) discusses the evaluation and management of the sensation of a lump in the throat (globus sensation).
@@vro4523you probably found out by now but you don't have to worry about anything happening to you during sleep. I was restless the first few nights too but you end up getting used to it, good luck and do your best not to think about it.
I suffer from this and i see a lot of people who fell like it makes harder to breathe, which i get, i felt the same way. But it DOES NOT restrict breathing the feeling comes from your esophagus. Yes it will feel like its harder to breathe, but i helped my anixety a lot to know that wasnt the case.
No way I cannot deal with this for that long to me it feels like mucus stuck in my throat that I cant get to go down when I swallow and when I do swallow it goes away for a few seconds then feels like something is coming back up I was starting to think there was some nasty bug in my throat
Is it the normal or the same if there is something like a small ball or marble that goes up and down on my throat? And may I ask what are the best way I can do prevent it.
I got this feeling for the first time after I had thrown up on a bus journey that was full of people. I started to notice it 2-3 days later when I was out with friends or going to college and it only ever seemed to go away when I am at home or in a comfortable place. I don’t know if this is some form of anxiety but every time I get it I feel like I’m going to chuck my guts up. It’s a pain in my arse.
I get this sensational feeling after I stress out a lot. I’ve had a really stressful past month and how I’m dealing with this globus. It gets so bad that I start gagging and throwing up.
Sometimes, this makes me want to shove my hand inside my throat and yank whatever it is out. Mine started with a numb pain on the left side of my neck, before I had it massaged- It stopped. But the following week, I felt the lump in my throat. It's annoying, I can't sleep well without feeling that lump.
I get it from time to time, especially during night time. But I’ve been getting it often recently and it feels worse than b4, it’s like something is there in my throat but I can’t get it out, sometimes on the upper part of my throat and sometimes lower. Do you feel similar things? I’m just worried abt it , a relief to hear that I’m not the only one struggling with this
I got it recently when I started going back to college I genuinely woke up with it and thought I was choking but I could breathe like normal and eat as normal so I was confused, I then tried ginger and honey and steam because I figured it could be phlegm but it’s actually stress when your anxious and thinking about stuff it comes but once you figure out what your stressing over and get rid of that thought you’ll be relieved to feel it not be there especially at night it’s really annoying trying to sleep but I really hope you manage to get it fixed I’m like 90% there, some days it just comes but I distract myself enough to just not acknowledge it and give it any attention and eventually it goes away
I have this same issue since 1 year now .my symptoms is pain in left side of Thorat,bitter taste in mouth, whenever I swallow my Saliva this lump comes again.breathing problem feels like someone is chocking me .pls tell me how to get rid of this
I have it all the time. I spoke to my GP other day about my blood results and I mentioned it he didn’t even acknowledge that I asked about it? Was like he completely ignored what I said. Felt like he wanted me on/off phone fast as possible and was him that booked the appointment ( got few health issues ) 😕
Hi found this vid. May I just ask, whenever I try to swallow, the right lower part of my neck appears to be moving and the left part does not. No DOB, no dysphagia as well. Is this globus?
I feel like I've has this for like 2 or 3 years now & it's getting to the point where I'm gagging & regurgitating food. I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy. Like I just wanna vibe without my throat spazzing out. Usually it gets even worse after I eat
I'm not a doctor but if you are gagging and regurgitating food, I would have this checked out ASAP! I've been told these are often signs of a more serious issue.
@@izijay4358 I think that's part of it, but it could be a combination. Heartburn happens, but more often I have these random gagging fits. I take omeprazole now & it mitigates some of it, but the gagging still happens from time to time.
Bro if you're gagging, then it might be a sign of burping disorder It happens with me, I can't burp and it often comes to a point when I start choking and gagging so i could release the gasses(they cause globus sensation)
i've been experiencing it for years already. i thought it is normal, is it? whenever i speak there's an air/lump in my throat that is why i can't speak fast and deliver the exact pronunciation of the words i am saying. i need to stop every after 5-10 seconds and if i continue i'll lost my voice and seems like whispering or there will be a change of voice and i'll go stuttering. do i need to consult with a doctor? i also have fear of socializing, i prefer to be alone and my hands always sweat and i always stutter whenever i interact, i can't also speak in public. i am so clueless.
My 24 hour pH study indicates I have documented acid reflux, and my two major symptoms are hoarseness and globus sensation. The symptoms have greatly worsened since I stopped taking Pantoprazole and switched to Pepcid, making me have no zest for anything but watching videos about LPR and my symptoms. Actually swallowing food or water can provide some relief. I called our clinic today and was told to go back to Pantoprazole. I am really confused. Some doctors say do not take PPI, and some say take PPI for the rest of your life. BTW, some people don't understand this globus sensation. Just today, a friend of mine said it was impossible and that it was just "in my brain." Oh my God, she drove me crazy by saying that! I used to describe the sensation as "swelling," while other patients said "lump," until I learned that there was this medical term--globus! How can I get rid of it? I have tried everything from gargling alkaline water to acupuncture. Nothing really helps...
Do you have anxiety? Seems when I focus on it its there. Also do you have excess saliva? Could be a long covid symptom. I know for sure my globus sensation is from this.
@@kambousi I have this problem since pandemic start mostly gloubs sensation with excessive saliva coming from throat to mouth I have done almost all test endoscopy chest X-ray ultrasound Ent barium swallow they couldn’t find anything wrong with stomach esophags or with throat and later I went for allergy test and found that I hve wheat soya and dairy allergies I stop eating these foods but still have this problem
@@hanstonichance it only bother me heavily now if my throats dry. The biggest struggle was when i was at the dentist i couldnt swallow at all while they where working on my teeth
@@thomasnagy124 I know people say try to ignore it but its kinda impossible to. But the longer you have it the easier it is to ignore and you wont realize you have it most the time until you focus on it
I’ve had persistent throat clearing for years but the last 3 days I’ve had this sensation in my esophagus! I also have GERD so I think that is the culprit. But it’s really aggravating!
Hello Doctor I have inlet patches and recently I'm having trouble swallowing I feel it gets stuck while I swallow. Could this be inlet patch or something else?
I started experiencing this just 2months ago, I had it for just a week, thought it is because of stress. And Then it keeps on reoccurring and went on for almost 3 weeks already.
I smoke and lately I've been wanting to quit. It's like smoke gets stuck in my phlegm and stomach. I feel like this globus is made up of hard jelly like brown phlegm and other foreign things like hair and dust. When I try to work it out through breathing and cough techniques, it doesn't budge it's like it's anchored to my stomach.
Great work Dr!! I love the video, very nice explanation and wonderful personality. I would love to connect with you, I have tried to find you on Instagram but does not seem you have 1. Cheers dr!!
I'm a screaming vocalist just got off tour with my first band.. now I have tour in June with my other band and this shit doesn't feel comfortable at all. What's scary is I have a show tonight and then a week after I start another 2 week tour. Should I be worried
@@ahmedadam8851 no I didnt have the breathing problem but if you do something that takes your mind off of it as hard as it is to do that it disappears lol
Greetings, have been having this problem since late 2021. Which forced me to quit my job in an vegetables oil factory. And till now there has been no changes. what can i use please?
I have the exact same thing! It feels like my heart is rising into my throat. It really is the worst feeling... I wish I could just rip whatever it is out but there's nothing actually there :/
@@hayleyf.3385 mine is gone, but I use to eat garlic and chillies to calm it down, it wasn't the best thing to do, have Dates, black seeds and honey for breakfast, lots of exercise turmeric powder with milk before bed time, I hope this helps take it easy on eating certain foods that will trigger it, mine lasted for almost a year.
I have the exact same problem, only happened for the first time 3 days ago and then again today. It's really scary and had to stop working out. Happened on decline bench and bench today.
@@hugokelly8205 i started taking proposed for acid reflux a couple weeks ago as I had to wait on the endoscopy, lucky it showed nothing but the prilosec seems to help a bit. I dont feel that globus as often but still do on the bench and when driving too reclined back. A few adjustments and it helps so don't sweat it. Work on as hard as it is less beers if you drink. Thats the hard part:)
Hello, I had fever, colds and cough and then this lump sensation after the fever. Can you enlighten me if this is all natural because of the cold and coughs?
Having this same problem right now. Not sure if its Globas but yeah,I have no pain,can eat properly and only feel like something is in my throat when I swallow. Honestly I feel pretty ok as it is. I have had bad reflux in the past but have had it in awhile. Goes away when I eat or drink. Saw my doctor and did antibiotics and didn't help so going g to go see a ENT doc on Wed and hopefully can figure out what it is. Causing me to have real bad anxiety having to wait but what can I do
@@faigycohen8096 saw the ENT and unfortunately I was diagnosed with Palatal myoclonus. Wish it was globus but unfortunately it wasn't. I dont have it that bad tho as the clicking is voluntary and really doesn't bother but it never goes away
Hello guys. I had globus sensation that kinda restricted my airflow and speech. It felt like a lump was stuck in my throat and each time I eat, it relives but returns. I wore my acupuncture slippers around my house for an hour or so, went to bed and woke up with the globus sensation GONE! that slippers works magic! It helps stimulate the feet were organs are connected to and it helped
If you have what most people do then you wake up with nothing but the intensity of the lump in a throat gets worse throughout the day. I have noticed that clonazepam meds help however doc's are reluctent to prescribe it due to addiction which is bullshit.
It has been about a month and the sensation still there. everytime I eat specially meat I feel like some of the meat still stuck there, and it takes sometime for the sensation to go away. ocassionaly when I swallow it hurts on the right or left bottom side of the throat. It also feels like if i had mucus stck so sometimes i might try to spit it out to try to get rid of the sensation. i am not really sure where is coming from, i do consider myself an anxious person and i tend to get acid reflux often, i also have nail psoriasis and dandruff on my scalp if that helps come up with the cause. Any thoughts, or advise?
It’s the second day I feel like this . I have not been getting hungry and feeling something stuck in my throat. I’ve had anxiety and stress before but idk if it’s caused from that. I don’t know if I should see a doctor or not , any suggestions??
So I’ve been dealing with this on and off for 3 weeks . The lump feels like it’s right above my Adam’s Apple like there is mucus that I can’t get out . But it’s almost a lose lose situation . I wake up and it’s gone but I start to get anxious when I start coughing thinking that the feeling is going to come back and it does and it stays until it I go to bed for the night and the cycle repeats.
When I first experienced this I was terrified and I actually had a very dry mouth and throat and I couldn't breathe. It felt very different to anxiety which I've had before. Are then managed to find some water to have and it was a struggle to even swallow the water. Eventually I did and it seemed to help that I wet my throat. It has been on and off for almost a year now and I get that mucus sensation as well where I feel like there's something stuck at the bottom of my throat like a grain of rice or something and I can just never clear it and sometimes I think it's a tonsil stone that never can be dislodged. Overall I can live with it but it's extremely frustrating. I find that it's easily triggered when I speak a lot or exert power in my voice when I speak. Shouting is basically just not even possible anymore. I get the lump in the throat mostly as like a small type of lump feeling when my throat goes dry. But if I continue to try to speak when my throat is dry, I feel like it's a bigger lump in throat. Like a golf ball size. It's almost like speaking makes it worse. When I eat and drink however, I feel like there is no sensation there. I generally don't drink that much water which I know is bad, but I'm just wondering if that's also something that other people have noticed. Is the lack of water part of the reason this happens?? Anyway, just putting it out there. Would love some more feedback and experience stories. 😊
@@josislost True. I have it right now. I've had it severally and it normally disappears when you are not thinking about it. A few days after disappearing is when you are like,, Oh! It's no longer there.
I am 27 year old sudenly diagnosed with h phlori and done treatment of this bacteria two times but now i am able to swollow food i took whole meal but after meal it seems stuck can u recommend me something
I have exactly the same feeling as you explained , I’ve been having reflux problems for a very long time although sometimes I try to manage it but it still get triggered at some point and this lump in the throat gets me worried bcz I seem to clear my throat or to understand why I have this feeling and it gets me anxious and that even makes it worse , sometimes it feels like mucus I can’t clear or rather something stuck there like a stick or ball 🤦🏼♀️ How to I manage or control this feeling without being worried ?
Basically you have to find out what causes it then that's how you get rid of it. I had kidney stones and it stressed my body out. Once the kidney stone left, the globus left. So you have to find out what triggers...it can be you body reacts to something or psychological
So I jist got prescribed reaso done for my anxiety since I was panicking never before have I experienced anything like this. I have this feeling in my throat for about a month do you think it's the Trazadone or I've been really stressed out
ive been having this issue myself quite recently i never usually suffer with aniexty as i never fully understood it due to my autism but for the last few weeks ive had this fear of choking which then became fear of swallowing so by researching the term globus sensation it allowed me to understand more about it as i panic when i feel like i cant swallow due to a feeling of a lump in my throat which i know isnt really there its my mind that thinks its there then to discover acid reflux is a big cause to it ive got myself some gaviscon double action to see if it helps relieves the symptoms im just glad i can drink and eat ok so its not to bad for that
it is been 6 month i have sensation there was cough took 2 month and gone due to weather and that pain like something in my throat scratchs didnt go away i want treatment pleaseeee pleasee
hi, pls answer. It started months ago and I went to several doctors. They all said different things. Now the haka continues and my nose constantly runs. for months. Besides, I have allergies and my shoulders hurt every morning My shoulders hurt very much. Same thing on my waist and back. please help me
I have the same thing in addition when i become overwhelmed by many things it becomes worse, feeling i don't want to speak to anyone and i want to change what i'm doing with any other thing.
Anxiety makes it worse! Lump in throat feeling when youre very anxious is normal. Try to find a moment when youre relaxed, busy with other things etc. Youll find your throat feels less congested. Dont try to eat dry foods when youre anxious because youll have issues and youll think its because of the lump in your throat. That will make your anxiety only worse. Globus is mostly anxiety, either mental or physical
I wish a throat doctor could literally push down the clump of mucus "golf ball" feeling out of my throat. Constant swallowing and constant clearing with nothing coming up to eliminate. Help! Can't we get a CURE for this?
Dr. Can vit deficiency cause this issues... I am also having chest pain and nerve pain since 2 months there is no medical explanation for the same according to the cardiologist and other doctors... Can all these be a symptom of vitamin deficiency
I have the same thing, started in January of this year...My throat felt tight and when I would swallow food or even water, it would feel like a nerve was being pinched in my right chest area. I have had multiple tests and everything normal. Its baffling and scary. Not one doctor could figure it out. Finally went to chiropractor, said I was feeling referred pain in chest muscle coming from neck muscles when I swallowed food. Its slowly getting better but I have had to have my neck and upper back adjusted for the last 7 weeks twice a week. I now believe this to be a nerve issue starting in front scapula neck muscles. Go see a chiropractor. It really helped me!
Yeah i have this once every like 5-6 month's, usually goes away on it's own, but this time i tried swallowing a gulp of water and it went away felt uncomfortable and was very hard to swallow. changing my diet is helping a lot.
@@faisalkhan5539 it's there if i do choose to eat the occasional steak or something, have to chew it up a bit more.. noodles pasta, anything very soft goes down very easy rice is hard to swallow
I have the same feeling for 20 years . When I was a child I was clotheslined while running through backyards I caught a low hanging line I was sore for a few days later in life into adulthood I dont know if it was caused by FHP poor posture I have clicking an cracking in my throat I can move my Adam's apple side to side I always fell like have swallow to clear phlem in my throat
Feel theres something in my throat or back of my neck but sore when i bend my head down n up. Not sure to what to do? Iv been to doctors for the neck pain and feeling sick when i eat. so i got the tablets but dont know if it right
Hello, how are you feeling lately? The best thing to do if you still have the sensation is to go and get it checked with ent and maybe ultrasound. If you get all clear then it’s globus sensation which can be caused by aniexty , acid reflux I’m sure you will be fine :)
I’ve had this feeling of this lump for about a year now I feel great it’s just so annoying and it won’t go away and I feel it when I swallow food or drink water please respond if you see this
@@metinkara6334 I didn’t get rid of it I’m living with it lol it’s nothing dangerous and yesterday it got a lil smaller I was happy asf but I’m still the same strength and everything
@@adamtrippen8004 I was relief for a moment when i´ve read "i feel great" lol. I got this sh*t for four mounths. In first two weeks i couldnt even talk to someone, that feeling were irritating my troat (not pathological). Last two mounths i felt okay, it became lighter. And the feeling started again. I'm guessing it was started again because I changed my cigarette and started to drink coke again. It can't be a coincidence. BTW i feel it at the end of my chin, on the right side of my throat. Yes, like everyone i´ve anxiety, but why i always feel it on the same spot on my troat lol. I think not just anxiety, something different (like coke and cigarette) makes this. Cant quit someking.
Had this for a week now and its been the worst week in a long time for me. I keep thinking its cancer or something. The anxiety is what does it and makes it hard to swallow dry foods which only makes my fear worse. Horrible!! I have long had anxiety and depression issues so this is not helping me in my life... I since tried to cut down drinking since I drink way too much, I guess thats the only positive. My existing anxiety issues makes this very hard to not make it ruin my day
I'm currently experiencing great levels of anxiety and have been having a hard time breathing and feeling nauseous. I am also feeling this globus sensation for the past days. I haven't felt this before but I think I'm currently under a high anxiety level.
I’m having the exact same problem been checked at ane with my oxygen levels fine but can’t breathe and have chest pain, they told me it’s all in my head cause of my anxiety
@@entdoctor-lexingtonsc8196 I don't have any burning, I tried acid reflux for a month, and it didn't help. the problem started with me 3 years ago, it started with a neck tension, then it moved to include the throat muscles too.
I've been feeling it a couple days ago now and it's making me burping a lot too and it feels like it's moving up and down in my throat and it kinda burns. what could that means?
Unfortunately, this can often be a long-term problem. As I mentioned in the video, this is typically not anything too worrisome, but it is certainly annoying and scary. As some others have mentioned in these comments, anxiety can be a contributing factor and can make this feel worse, although that is rarely the sole source of the problem. It is not uncommon for the feeling to seem like it moves up and down some. I hope this helps. You should always seek more personalized treatment and have an evaluation by your doctor. Best of luck!
I have had this for almost 4 years now . Went to the doctors checked everything but didn’t find anything. This gets worse when I eat certain food especially coffee and energy drinks , it dose get worse at nights but sometimes when I don’t eat a lot of food it goes away. It’s making me miserable, I feel like I can’t get enough air and can’t eat anything
I hope it has passed. I'm experiencing the same things and now I'm experiencing things like allergies and swallowing problems. I lost about 7 kilos in 1 month. This is slowly draining my psychology and dragging me into depression. I don't want to say bad things, but I hope you got over this feeling.
I shouldn't be surprised to hear that medication and or surgery was the option given here. I've had this sensation for 20yrs now and it's not reflux and not a surgical solution. Mine is anxiety brought on by a number of environmental factors including heat among others. I don't buy into white coats anymore!
I feel like there’s something on the right side of my neck but when I check my lymph nodes they look/feel fine. It feels swollen and there’s an almost tightness that goes along with it as well. No other symptoms
I have this right now, it has been 5 days and I am so scared, it feels like something is stuck in my throat aswell as tight pulling, it's such a relief to read these comments omg I've been thinking I'm going to die!
@@holliemartin2001 I did too! About 6 months ago! I even went to the hospital. I felt like I was being strangled and it induced panic attacks and I thought my heart was going to stop! It has taken me until now to finally diagnose myself after 3 doctors sent me away with an Rx for Ibuprophen....I still have tightening in my neck and throat on and off the more stressed I get but it helps to know that it is not as serious as I once thought. Are you still experiencing it or did it go away? Just trying to have hope that I can reverse it one day...
I have been feeling I have a lump on my throat that comes with alot of pain, tension in my throat, trouble swallowing affects my sinus and makes me feel sad and down many times because if this feeling, tight throat, sleepless nights and sometimes feels like am being g strangled, affects my voice and my day to day life.. Should I see a gastroenteritis or ENT?
Exactly like my throat feels like there is mucas in it. Ive had it for months constantly swallowing to try get rid of it but its just there had it for months its having strain on my chest all the coughing to try get rid of i beg you help me get rid of it
Hey doc! Been having the sensation for awhile worse when i lay down. I continually try to swallow but that seems to make it worse. It restricts my breathing when i lay down sometimes i bolt out of bed in a panic. Or i will yawn continuously trying to get air. Sometimes i get a full breath most of the time its about half capacity of oxygen. I am 28 and wondering if vaping thc oil has done this to me.
@@MrDillon45 it's not worth it man we are still young, and are more than likely doing permanent damage to out lungs. I am 3 weeks clean no marijuana and my breathing has improved significantly. Those vapes just about killed me and the withdrawal effects were unreal. I was having extreme hot and cold sweats my skin turned completely white, I had the shakes, I could hardly eat, and I was coughing up white bubbly phlegm indication of white blood cells fighting an infection. Let your lungs recover if you half to have marijuana I recommend edibles, good luck the withdrawal is out of this world.
@@freedomforall3695 man I agree I’m working on it right now. I’m at least taking a break for a while. Did the lump in your throat sensation go away yet??
I ate fish a week ago. I feel like there's fish bone on my throat. I ate banana and drink pepsi. Still i feel discomfort when swallowing. I went to ENT to examine me. Then i did gastroscopy (OGD) no foreign body was found. But i feel like theres something. But now less pain and less discomfort.Do i need to do CT scan?
Me too.. I accidentally swallowed a fish bone about a month ago and I went to 3 otolaryngologists they found nothing..but I feel like something is stuck in my throat It makes me so sad
@@teasaipi Hello, Thank God I'm ok now. I hope this might help you. My Doctor recommended me this. A glass of warm water with tea spoon of honey and 5 drops of lemons with pinch of salt. Gargle for 3mins then throw away. 3x a day for 5 days. Dont drink it. Very effective!
I have globus for like a month, the reason could be from my GERD or anxiety. The good thing is I dont get acidic often as I used to as Im changing my diet a little, but as for when this will last I dont have a clue, it could also be from my anxiety I also saw my epiglottis on it, but I dont think its epiglottitis as it didn't cause any discomfort of breathing nor did got worse,to give you context I am a teen of 16 yrs of age I dont smoke nor drink alcohol, Im obese but starting to exercise a lot, and loosing a lot of weight. The best methods for me to on lowering the symptoms is by yawning,relaxed shoulder with a straight head, lots of liquids, and I inhale a lot. Its been a month and 2weeks from oct 13/14. Im a bit worried of course, I have gone to the ENT last year but due to covid I couldn't seem to go him Ill promise to keep yall updated on whats happening, just to give some people the ease of mind.
that’s a long time i’m sometimes scared to eat foods because i think my throat is swollen i’ve literally going through it right now with the feeling in my throat , i been in the er for 2 days they told me i have Gerd , acid reflux i thought it maybe it was a allergic reaction the doctor claim it’s my anxiety but i’m not sure what to take to get rid of the feeling , you still feeling the same ?
@@careefreeelyss i feel you , at this moment now ,I feel little to no symptoms other than some small neck poking as I like to call it, try doing the methods I recommended in my comment maybe it can help, If you have acid I recommend eating banana before or after meals it really helps, trust me it aint that bad once you do the the exercises its very easy It would really feel worse if you get an anxiety attack so try to stay calm as much as possible And I dont know how this work but for some reason when I put my tongue on the roof of my mouth it weirdly help ease the neck feeling , try it for your self and maybe tell me if it helped you? Again it will take a while to actually feel a change, took me prolly 6weeks , but I hope its lesser for you. And good luck friend I wish you the best of luck for your globus
About 4 days ago I got rice stuck in my throat so I drank a glass of water to get it down and ever since then I have ALL the symptoms of globus sensation. The thing is now I'm not sure what to think of this as globus sensation is commonly referred to as a symptom of anxiety, stress, acid reflux etc but I have all the symptoms of it after the rice situation. It feels like a ball of mucus at the bottom of my throat right before the collar bone starts if that makes sense and no matter how much I swallow its still there. Its honestly making me so stressed as there's constant tightness in my throat 24/7. I'm contemplation wheather I should go to the ER all day since it began.
@Anthony Padilla that’s me right now i have Gerd i’m trying to find a remedy to get rid of it they keep saying my test came back good so it has to be my anxiety

Hi doc i just got this globus for like weeks ago or no because i punch try punching my throat or irritated it because i thought it will be cured do i have globus sensation or is it because i punch it
Hey doc! I had a lump feeling come up last week. Exactly how you described and I have had reflux. It seems to be gradually improving over the past few days, but when would you recommend I should go to the doctors? No hoarseness and no neck or throat pain, just the discomfort.
Yes dude , same thing... It sucks... My dad had Esaphogal Cancer , had the same feeling for years. They said it's only acid reflux turned out to be a huge tumor in his throat. I hope I don't have the same.
If it does not go away within several weeks of reflux treatment, you should get checked out. As another commenter has mentioned. Rarely, some of these symptoms could be an early symptom of esophageal or laryngeal cancer.
Hey man is your globus gone? I believe I also have globus from reflux but I couldn't prove it, but I did remember having reflux the night before having this feeling its been months now. Im a bit worried now I feel like anxiety has just kicked just took its place
@@Zweiihandre yes it did! It did return once or twice also due to reflux. Try to say relaxed as much as possible for a few days and try to objectively gauge it. Anxieties really do make it worse. For example, you remember those old cartoons when a character got scared? They did that exaggerated gulp, which is referencing the same sensation.
@@christiansmith4574 thanks mate, last question is during your globus do you keep adjusting your head? Every time you look down? Cause I always need to adjust cause it kinda feel like its choking me (but obvsly it doesnt) but yeh thats my last question
hello sir my grand mother have iner lump in her throat which cause many problems like lungs infection and swollen food and so on....please recomend an athentic remedy for her.
feel something stuck in my throat and i feel burning sensation sometime. also one side of neck is feeling a little pain or tiredness in neck. its been weeks now. any idea what is it please ? i need help
@@Nelly-kl9rl feeling good, actually i figured my self out what was wrong with me. it was actually dry mouth. the allergy pills for sneezing and emprazole for acidity. both were drying me out so i got bad dry mouth. coz i suddenly noticed i wasnt getting any mucus and any allergy at all. so i suddenly stopped my medication and after 3 days im feeling almost 90% recovered. i hate being n medication as they fix one problem and start another
I hate the feeling. I have it. The sensation i have is like a group of air can't get out. Its pretty annoying. So what I did is drink a room temperature coke and its help me burp. And once the air releases, I felt better. I mostly have it after I ate. Beef meat cause mostly of having this sensation ( air like stuck in my throat or lump)
Hey for the people who are feeling this right now, Do you guys feel this on one side of your neck area, and do you feel tiredness on your colar bone and neck area? If so let me know i don’t wanna be alone, I have also noticed when im with my gf or family And enjoying time with them by talking a lot, i noticed i don’t feel anything, but once im alone in my room i start getting that feeling
Hi bro i get the same feeling when I’m alone it’s bad make me feel like I’m totally fit and shit like that i have this neck issue too like stiffness in my right jaw area
Same here. When I'm with my bf, napping or doing smth to keep my mind away from it, it goes away but as soon as i think abt it, it come back. It's so annoying and usually feels suffocating. I had it once in a while over the past months but not it's becoming more recurrent....maybe it's cuz I'm stressing over exams
@@hopudesu9655 Hey yea you should be fine, mine is completely gone, the best way is to drink a lot of water as well and just try your hardest to not think about it ik its hard, but i mean at least you know you’re not dying or it’s something serious that’s life threatening also so many people are dealing with this everyday so you are not alone
Hey bro! I’m having this problem in about a week. I also lost weight, my neck and throat killing me. It feels like something stuck in my throat and my neck hurts so bad. When I’m with my friends and when I don’t think about it goes away. But when I think about it, it stress me a lot. My question is, did you lose weight during this global sensation problem and did you neck hurt? Thanks, appreciated!
@@atabekarapov9588 idk abt the weight loss part, i had more of bloat...prob need to go get it checked out but i did have neck pain and headaches. I even had chest pain that felt as if my chest was tightening. It was so stressful. I had the sensation for weeks but after doing what @zefy said it went away. It came back last week and i did what he said again and it went away. @zefy is the commentor before ur comment, it may help to give his suggestion a try. Just try you hardest to not focus on the sensation. When i get the feeling in my throat i just swallow it down instead of trying to force a burp. I just keep swallowing while doing smth that would distract me. May be hard the first few days but it works
Have this for a year, and i will say its not very great. When it started the lump in neck was continuously there for a week. Then it got better and only shows up when i yawn or swallow spit repeatedly. Some guy in the comments said his got better with some accupunture slippers.
Globus can certainly be a very annoying problem - for both patients and doctors. I sympathize with all of you. The more you stress about it, the worse it feels. Reducing stress or focus on a problem is certainly easier said than done. Trying consistent reflux medication for at least 2 months can often be helpful, but you should always be evaluated by your physician.
I feel like im jsut dehydration amd thay whay caused it, but know thay i was talking to my brother it clear away but it comes back in seconds i cant i can handel dtress pretty well but this this is causing me to not feel well and causing me to stress more the choking i feel like ill die in my sleep
I feel like I have to be clear my throat often but i don't have a swallowing issue but my lower neck is slightly swollen. Sometimes I panic about it. I feel it alot when I'm stress
I have done another video on chronic cough and throat clearing. You may want to check those out. Although stress isn't the sole source of these problems, stress typically makes all of these problems worse.
Frustrating that the doctors want o blame a lump in the throat to acid reflux versus anxiety. Then they get on you tube to solicit your business instead of helping someone right here right now.
Aniexty/acid reflux can cause globus sensation. Just make sure you get it checked with ent and ultrasound, if it’s all clear then you know it’s just an annoying feeling and nothing serious 👍🏼
Globus Sensation is real, I've been experiencing it for 1 week now, and it seems that aside from the throat sensation, my back feels heavy occasionally. I wasn't really sure if its due to Globus Sensation or it's just my anxiety.
@@debbypacs1302 Try to drink chamomile tea before going to bed, it helps to lessen the sensation and you can sleep peacefully. Aside from that, do the box breathing exercise, it will helps also.
hello its November 12th 2022, Ive had this for about 3 and a half weeks now. My doctor told me its never dangerous, just annoying. I notice it gets better and worst, I like to smoke weed and I took 14 days off and it made it a lot better. Lifting helps a lot. Just keep doing fun stuff and you dont think about it and it will goaway. It hasnt gone away for me, but my doctor had it for 2 months he said and it went away.
hi, just want to ask if you are better now. I just had this same feeling like you started also the same month as you. What did you do to make it completly gone?
@@icecandy1568 hey! Yep I’m all better now. Just working out and eating a Whole Foods diet. It’s now February 28 2023 and it’s gone ! Hope this helped!

I suffer from this and i see a lot of people who fell like it makes harder to breathe, which i get, i felt the same way. But it DOES NOT restrict breathing the feeling comes from your esophagus. Yes it will feel like its harder to breathe, but i helped my anixety a lot to know that wasnt the case.

How long did yours last
@@MatthewWieler for a couple of weeks
No way I cannot deal with this for that long to me it feels like mucus stuck in my throat that I cant get to go down when I swallow and when I do swallow it goes away for a few seconds then feels like something is coming back up I was starting to think there was some nasty bug in my throat
@@jayw6790 I’ve been dealing with it for 5 months it won’t go away but I’m not really bugged out about it.
@@MatthewWieler u still got yours
Is it the normal or the same if there is something like a small ball or marble that goes up and down on my throat? And may I ask what are the best way I can do prevent it.
I got this feeling for the first time after I had thrown up on a bus journey that was full of people. I started to notice it 2-3 days later when I was out with friends or going to college and it only ever seemed to go away when I am at home or in a comfortable place. I don’t know if this is some form of anxiety but every time I get it I feel like I’m going to chuck my guts up. It’s a pain in my arse.
Did it go away ??
It goes away when I burp
But it's stuck in my throat
Look up Globus Hystericus, it deals specifically with anxiety.
Yeah really pain in the ass😭I tried making my self vomit just to make it disappear but nothing comes out even though I really feel like vomiting
@@lifeisafrickenchicken6950 its good now?
I get this sensational feeling after I stress out a lot. I’ve had a really stressful past month and how I’m dealing with this globus. It gets so bad that I start gagging and throwing up.
does it get better when you throw up ?
@@careefreeelyss it goes away a bit yes.
How long did it last? I've had it for a month now.
Lol I have to gag myself to make mine go away
@@gianlucaroses9680 same , did yours go away ?
Where are you located? I think I need a doctor’s visit
Thanks for the video.
Sometimes, this makes me want to shove my hand inside my throat and yank whatever it is out. Mine started with a numb pain on the left side of my neck, before I had it massaged- It stopped. But the following week, I felt the lump in my throat. It's annoying, I can't sleep well without feeling that lump.
I get it from time to time, especially during night time. But I’ve been getting it often recently and it feels worse than b4, it’s like something is there in my throat but I can’t get it out, sometimes on the upper part of my throat and sometimes lower. Do you feel similar things?
I’m just worried abt it , a relief to hear that I’m not the only one struggling with this
I got it recently when I started going back to college I genuinely woke up with it and thought I was choking but I could breathe like normal and eat as normal so I was confused, I then tried ginger and honey and steam because I figured it could be phlegm but it’s actually stress when your anxious and thinking about stuff it comes but once you figure out what your stressing over and get rid of that thought you’ll be relieved to feel it not be there especially at night it’s really annoying trying to sleep but I really hope you manage to get it fixed I’m like 90% there, some days it just comes but I distract myself enough to just not acknowledge it and give it any attention and eventually it goes away
I have this same issue since 1 year now .my symptoms is pain in left side of Thorat,bitter taste in mouth, whenever I swallow my Saliva this lump comes again.breathing problem feels like someone is chocking me .pls tell me how to get rid of this
Would this cause a nausea like feeling in the throat. Sort of a gaggy feeling in between the collar bone.
I have it all the time. I spoke to my GP other day about my blood results and I mentioned it he didn’t even acknowledge that I asked about it? Was like he completely ignored what I said. Felt like he wanted me on/off phone fast as possible and was him that booked the appointment ( got few health issues ) 😕
How are you feeling lately?
Call back with the same issue until they acknowledge it. Ref to ENT should be done first.
Hi found this vid. May I just ask, whenever I try to swallow, the right lower part of my neck appears to be moving and the left part does not. No DOB, no dysphagia as well. Is this globus?
I feel like I've has this for like 2 or 3 years now & it's getting to the point where I'm gagging & regurgitating food. I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy. Like I just wanna vibe without my throat spazzing out. Usually it gets even worse after I eat
I'm not a doctor but if you are gagging and regurgitating food, I would have this checked out ASAP! I've been told these are often signs of a more serious issue.
Maybe GERD
@@izijay4358 I think that's part of it, but it could be a combination. Heartburn happens, but more often I have these random gagging fits. I take omeprazole now & it mitigates some of it, but the gagging still happens from time to time.
Bro if you're gagging, then it might be a sign of burping disorder
It happens with me, I can't burp and it often comes to a point when I start choking and gagging so i could release the gasses(they cause globus sensation)
i've been experiencing it for years already. i thought it is normal, is it? whenever i speak there's an air/lump in my throat that is why i can't speak fast and deliver the exact pronunciation of the words i am saying. i need to stop every after 5-10 seconds and if i continue i'll lost my voice and seems like whispering or there will be a change of voice and i'll go stuttering. do i need to consult with a doctor? i also have fear of socializing, i prefer to be alone and my hands always sweat and i always stutter whenever i interact, i can't also speak in public. i am so clueless.
My 24 hour pH study indicates I have documented acid reflux, and my two major symptoms are hoarseness and globus sensation. The symptoms have greatly worsened since I stopped taking Pantoprazole and switched to Pepcid, making me have no zest for anything but watching videos about LPR and my symptoms. Actually swallowing food or water can provide some relief. I called our clinic today and was told to go back to Pantoprazole. I am really confused. Some doctors say do not take PPI, and some say take PPI for the rest of your life. BTW, some people don't understand this globus sensation. Just today, a friend of mine said it was impossible and that it was just "in my brain." Oh my God, she drove me crazy by saying that! I used to describe the sensation as "swelling," while other patients said "lump," until I learned that there was this medical term--globus! How can I get rid of it? I have tried everything from gargling alkaline water to acupuncture. Nothing really helps...
2 months later have you found anything that may help?
Do you have anxiety? Seems when I focus on it its there. Also do you have excess saliva? Could be a long covid symptom. I know for sure my globus sensation is from this.
@@kambousi I have this problem since pandemic start mostly gloubs sensation with excessive saliva coming from throat to mouth I have done almost all test endoscopy chest X-ray ultrasound Ent barium swallow they couldn’t find anything wrong with stomach esophags or with throat and later I went for allergy test and found that I hve wheat soya and dairy allergies I stop eating these foods but still have this problem
get off of the meds all I do is lower your stomach acid try a natural way brags mother's apple cider vinegar which build stomach acid pH.
Please don’t blaspheme God’s name. God bless you in Jesus name.

Hello Doctor
I have inlet patches and recently I'm having trouble swallowing I feel it gets stuck while I swallow. Could this be inlet patch or something else?
I'm feeling a kind of sensation in my throat, i don't know what's the cause
What camera is that! Daium!🔥
I started experiencing this just 2months ago, I had it for just a week, thought it is because of stress. And Then it keeps on reoccurring and went on for almost 3 weeks already.
I smoke and lately I've been wanting to quit. It's like smoke gets stuck in my phlegm and stomach. I feel like this globus is made up of hard jelly like brown phlegm and other foreign things like hair and dust. When I try to work it out through breathing and cough techniques, it doesn't budge it's like it's anchored to my stomach.
Great work Dr!! I love the video, very nice explanation and wonderful personality. I would love to connect with you, I have tried to find you on Instagram but does not seem you have 1. Cheers dr!!
I got that feeling 3 weeks ago after being sick and it wont go away since then, it comes and goes

A few adjustments and it helps so don't sweat it. Work on as hard as it is less beers if you drink.

Hello, I had fever, colds and cough and then this lump sensation after the fever. Can you enlighten me if this is all natural because of the cold and coughs?
Globus sensation can often occur for a while after a cold. If it persists, consider allergy and reflux.
Having this same problem right now. Not sure if its Globas but yeah,I have no pain,can eat properly and only feel like something is in my throat when I swallow. Honestly I feel pretty ok as it is. I have had bad reflux in the past but have had it in awhile. Goes away when I eat or drink. Saw my doctor and did antibiotics and didn't help so going g to go see a ENT doc on Wed and hopefully can figure out what it is. Causing me to have real bad anxiety having to wait but what can I do
Heyy
Just wondering of you have resolved the issue because I'm currently in the same boat
@@faigycohen8096 saw the ENT and unfortunately I was diagnosed with Palatal myoclonus. Wish it was globus but unfortunately it wasn't. I dont have it that bad tho as the clicking is voluntary and really doesn't bother but it never goes away

Hello guys. I had globus sensation that kinda restricted my airflow and speech. It felt like a lump was stuck in my throat and each time I eat, it relives but returns. I wore my acupuncture slippers around my house for an hour or so, went to bed and woke up with the globus sensation GONE! that slippers works magic! It helps stimulate the feet were organs are connected to and it helped
Where can I buy
Can you kindly provide us a link of that slippers too many of them are online I don’t know which one is authentic.. Thanks in advance for your help.
If you have what most people do then you wake up with nothing but the intensity of the lump in a throat gets worse throughout the day. I have noticed that clonazepam meds help however doc's are reluctent to prescribe it due to addiction which is bullshit.
It has been about a month and the sensation still there. everytime I eat specially meat I feel like some of the meat still stuck there, and it takes sometime for the sensation to go away. ocassionaly when I swallow it hurts on the right or left bottom side of the throat. It also feels like if i had mucus stck so sometimes i might try to spit it out to try to get rid of the sensation. i am not really sure where is coming from, i do consider myself an anxious person and i tend to get acid reflux often, i also have nail psoriasis and dandruff on my scalp if that helps come up with the cause. Any thoughts, or advise?
I have the same problem for 4 days but doctor did not spot anything in my throat. It feels like I'm about to choke pretty much...
It’s the second day I feel like this . I have not been getting hungry and feeling something stuck in my throat. I’ve had anxiety and stress before but idk if it’s caused from that. I don’t know if I should see a doctor or not , any suggestions??
So I’ve been dealing with this on and off for 3 weeks . The lump feels like it’s right above my Adam’s Apple like there is mucus that I can’t get out . But it’s almost a lose lose situation . I wake up and it’s gone but I start to get anxious when I start coughing thinking that the feeling is going to come back and it does and it stays until it I go to bed for the night and the cycle repeats.
how is it now?
what if I could feel something in my throat while drinking water and have shortness of breath? should i get it checked out?
When I first experienced this I was terrified and I actually had a very dry mouth and throat and I couldn't breathe. It felt very different to anxiety which I've had before. Are then managed to find some water to have and it was a struggle to even swallow the water. Eventually I did and it seemed to help that I wet my throat. It has been on and off for almost a year now and I get that mucus sensation as well where I feel like there's something stuck at the bottom of my throat like a grain of rice or something and I can just never clear it and sometimes I think it's a tonsil stone that never can be dislodged. Overall I can live with it but it's extremely frustrating. I find that it's easily triggered when I speak a lot or exert power in my voice when I speak. Shouting is basically just not even possible anymore. I get the lump in the throat mostly as like a small type of lump feeling when my throat goes dry. But if I continue to try to speak when my throat is dry, I feel like it's a bigger lump in throat. Like a golf ball size. It's almost like speaking makes it worse. When I eat and drink however, I feel like there is no sensation there. I generally don't drink that much water which I know is bad, but I'm just wondering if that's also something that other people have noticed. Is the lack of water part of the reason this happens?? Anyway, just putting it out there. Would love some more feedback and experience stories. 😊
Yeah it’s been 3 days since I’ve been like this. Best tip is don’t think about it

How did you handle this?
Basically you have to find out what causes it then that's how you get rid of it. I had kidney stones and it stressed my body out. Once the kidney stone left, the globus left. So you have to find out what triggers...it can be you body reacts to something or psychological
So I jist got prescribed reaso done for my anxiety since I was panicking never before have I experienced anything like this. I have this feeling in my throat for about a month do you think it's the Trazadone or I've been really stressed out
So what do I take to get rid of this I thought I had throat cancer or something
I don’t usually have cereal but I tried and having a bowl of cereal definitely helps. Doesn’t get rid but helps.
ive been having this issue myself quite recently i never usually suffer with aniexty as i never fully understood it due to my autism but for the last few weeks ive had this fear of choking which then became fear of swallowing so by researching the term globus sensation it allowed me to understand more about it as i panic when i feel like i cant swallow due to a feeling of a lump in my throat which i know isnt really there its my mind that thinks its there then to discover acid reflux is a big cause to it ive got myself some gaviscon double action to see if it helps relieves the symptoms im just glad i can drink and eat ok so its not to bad for that
Did gaviscon help? My doctor wants me to use it because I have the same issues.
it is been 6 month i have sensation there was cough took 2 month and gone due to weather and that pain like something in my throat scratchs didnt go away i want treatment pleaseeee pleasee

I have the same thing in addition when i become overwhelmed by many things it becomes worse, feeling i don't want to speak to anyone and i want to change what i'm doing with any other thing.
Anxiety makes it worse! Lump in throat feeling when youre very anxious is normal. Try to find a moment when youre relaxed, busy with other things etc. Youll find your throat feels less congested.
Dont try to eat dry foods when youre anxious because youll have issues and youll think its because of the lump in your throat. That will make your anxiety only worse.
Globus is mostly anxiety, either mental or physical
I've been dealing with panic attacks, chest pain, for the past 2 weeks and a half. Just now in the past 5 minutes this sht kicked in 😥
I wish a throat doctor could literally push down the clump of mucus "golf ball" feeling out of my throat. Constant swallowing and constant clearing with nothing coming up to eliminate. Help!
Can't we get a CURE for this?
I really hope to find a cure i hate seeing my favorite people on earth suffer every day from this.
Dr. Can vit deficiency cause this issues... I am also having chest pain and nerve pain since 2 months there is no medical explanation for the same according to the cardiologist and other doctors... Can all these be a symptom of vitamin deficiency
I have the same thing, started in January of this year...My throat felt tight and when I would swallow food or even water, it would feel like a nerve was being pinched in my right chest area. I have had multiple tests and everything normal. Its baffling and scary. Not one doctor could figure it out. Finally went to chiropractor, said I was feeling referred pain in chest muscle coming from neck muscles when I swallowed food. Its slowly getting better but I have had to have my neck and upper back adjusted for the last 7 weeks twice a week. I now believe this to be a nerve issue starting in front scapula neck muscles. Go see a chiropractor. It really helped me!

Hello, how are you feeling lately?
The best thing to do if you still have the sensation is to go and get it checked with ent and maybe ultrasound.
If you get all clear then it’s globus sensation which can be caused by aniexty , acid reflux
I’m sure you will be fine :)

I have long had anxiety and depression issues so this is not helping me in my life... I since tried to cut down drinking since I drink way too much, I guess thats the only positive.
My existing anxiety issues makes this very hard to not make it ruin my day
I'm currently experiencing great levels of anxiety and have been having a hard time breathing and feeling nauseous. I am also feeling this globus sensation for the past days. I haven't felt this before but I think I'm currently under a high anxiety level.
I’m having the exact same problem been checked at ane with my oxygen levels fine but can’t breathe and have chest pain, they told me it’s all in my head cause of my anxiety
@@kcl0vesu mine have subsided but still experience a hard time breathing from time to time when I get anxious or overwhelmed by something.
@@pspspspspspspspspspspspspspsps I hope mine do soon I get so worked up about it that I start imagining more illnesses I feel like I’m going insane
@@kcl0vesu just do breathing exercises and do things that you enjoy, for me I workout and that kinda helps.
Do you have lumps in your breasts?
My globus starts or gets worse immediately after eating. Does this mean it’s more GERD related?
Same here
@@reddfoxx5938 is it gone after 3 weeks?
I’ve had reflux be4 this has no burning sensation at all in my throat just the lump feeling, so I still take acid reflux medication??
Possible because it could be silent reflux........
@@ahmedadam8851 thanks
I agree with the other comments. You can certainly be having acid reflux issues, even if you don't have heartburn.
@@entdoctor-lexingtonsc8196 I don't have any burning, I tried acid reflux for a month, and it didn't help.
the problem started with me 3 years ago, it started with a neck tension, then it moved to include the throat muscles too.
I've been feeling it a couple days ago now and it's making me burping a lot too and it feels like it's moving up and down in my throat and it kinda burns. what could that means?
Mine just started today
Can it last more than a day? I just had it today and it’s freaking me out. But open looking around this makes most sense.
@@MatthewWieler i’ve had it for two days now and im just wondering if yours has disappeared?
@@ryangibson0110 I’ve had mine for over a month I’ve been doing a lot of research and some people have had it for year’s
Unfortunately, this can often be a long-term problem. As I mentioned in the video, this is typically not anything too worrisome, but it is certainly annoying and scary. As some others have mentioned in these comments, anxiety can be a contributing factor and can make this feel worse, although that is rarely the sole source of the problem. It is not uncommon for the feeling to seem like it moves up and down some. I hope this helps. You should always seek more personalized treatment and have an evaluation by your doctor. Best of luck!
I have had this for almost 4 years now . Went to the doctors checked everything but didn’t find anything.
This gets worse when I eat certain food especially coffee and energy drinks , it dose get worse at nights but sometimes when I don’t eat a lot of food it goes away. It’s making me miserable, I feel like I can’t get enough air and can’t eat anything
I hope it has passed. I'm experiencing the same things and now I'm experiencing things like allergies and swallowing problems. I lost about 7 kilos in 1 month. This is slowly draining my psychology and dragging me into depression. I don't want to say bad things, but I hope you got over this feeling.
I shouldn't be surprised to hear that medication and or surgery was the option given here. I've had this sensation for 20yrs now and it's not reflux and not a surgical solution. Mine is anxiety brought on by a number of environmental factors including heat among others. I don't buy into white coats anymore!
Hope you are all well now.
@@ArchieMontoyo managing it thank you

I feel like there’s something on the right side of my neck but when I check my lymph nodes they look/feel fine. It feels swollen and there’s an almost tightness that goes along with it as well. No other symptoms
Same here. It feels swollen right side of under my chin comparing the left side.
Same
I have this right now, it has been 5 days and I am so scared, it feels like something is stuck in my throat aswell as tight pulling, it's such a relief to read these comments omg I've been thinking I'm going to die!
@@holliemartin2001 I did too! About 6 months ago! I even went to the hospital. I felt like I was being strangled and it induced panic attacks and I thought my heart was going to stop! It has taken me until now to finally diagnose myself after 3 doctors sent me away with an Rx for Ibuprophen....I still have tightening in my neck and throat on and off the more stressed I get but it helps to know that it is not as serious as I once thought. Are you still experiencing it or did it go away? Just trying to have hope that I can reverse it one day...
@@mercuryRed347 you feel better now ?
I have been feeling I have a lump on my throat that comes with alot of pain, tension in my throat, trouble swallowing affects my sinus and makes me feel sad and down many times because if this feeling, tight throat, sleepless nights and sometimes feels like am being g strangled, affects my voice and my day to day life.. Should I see a gastroenteritis or ENT?
How you feel now ?
@@Nelly-kl9rl it comes and goes
I sometimes feel a lump in my throughly and i notice it’s when i drink coffee
Exactly like my throat feels like there is mucas in it. Ive had it for months constantly swallowing to try get rid of it but its just there had it for months its having strain on my chest all the coughing to try get rid of i beg you help me get rid of it
Hey doc! Been having the sensation for awhile worse when i lay down. I continually try to swallow but that seems to make it worse. It restricts my breathing when i lay down sometimes i bolt out of bed in a panic. Or i will yawn continuously trying to get air. Sometimes i get a full breath most of the time its about half capacity of oxygen. I am 28 and wondering if vaping thc oil has done this to me.
I’m 29 and have the same issue and wondering the exact same thing about the THC vape
@@MrDillon45 it's not worth it man we are still young, and are more than likely doing permanent damage to out lungs. I am 3 weeks clean no marijuana and my breathing has improved significantly. Those vapes just about killed me and the withdrawal effects were unreal. I was having extreme hot and cold sweats my skin turned completely white, I had the shakes, I could hardly eat, and I was coughing up white bubbly phlegm indication of white blood cells fighting an infection. Let your lungs recover if you half to have marijuana I recommend edibles, good luck the withdrawal is out of this world.
@@freedomforall3695 man I agree I’m working on it right now. I’m at least taking a break for a while. Did the lump in your throat sensation go away yet??
@@MrDillon45 no I got several small lumps in my throat and difficulty swallowing, It has gotten a little better since I quit.
I ate fish a week ago. I feel like there's fish bone on my throat. I ate banana and drink pepsi. Still i feel discomfort when swallowing. I went to ENT to examine me. Then i did gastroscopy (OGD) no foreign body was found. But i feel like theres something. But now less pain and less discomfort.Do i need to do CT scan?
Me too.. I accidentally swallowed a fish bone about a month ago and I went to 3 otolaryngologists they found nothing..but I feel like something is stuck in my throat It makes me so sad
@@teasaipi Hello, Thank God I'm ok now. I hope this might help you. My Doctor recommended me this. A glass of warm water with tea spoon of honey and 5 drops of lemons with pinch of salt. Gargle for 3mins then throw away. 3x a day for 5 days. Dont drink it. Very effective!
I have globus for like a month, the reason could be from my GERD or anxiety. The good thing is I dont get acidic often as I used to as Im changing my diet a little, but as for when this will last I dont have a clue, it could also be from my anxiety I also saw my epiglottis on it, but I dont think its epiglottitis as it didn't cause any discomfort of breathing nor did got worse,to give you context I am a teen of 16 yrs of age I dont smoke nor drink alcohol, Im obese but starting to exercise a lot, and loosing a lot of weight.
The best methods for me to on lowering the symptoms is by yawning,relaxed shoulder with a straight head, lots of liquids, and I inhale a lot. Its been a month and 2weeks from oct 13/14. Im a bit worried of course, I have gone to the ENT last year but due to covid I couldn't seem to go him
Ill promise to keep yall updated on whats happening, just to give some people the ease of mind.
that’s a long time i’m sometimes scared to eat foods because i think my throat is swollen i’ve literally going through it right now with the feeling in my throat , i been in the er for 2 days they told me i have Gerd , acid reflux i thought it maybe it was a allergic reaction the doctor claim it’s my anxiety but i’m not sure what to take to get rid of the feeling , you still feeling the same ?
@@careefreeelyss i feel you , at this moment now ,I feel little to no symptoms other than some small neck poking as I like to call it, try doing the methods I recommended in my comment maybe it can help, If you have acid I recommend eating banana before or after meals it really helps, trust me it aint that bad once you do the the exercises its very easy
It would really feel worse if you get an anxiety attack so try to stay calm as much as possible
And I dont know how this work but for some reason when I put my tongue on the roof of my mouth it weirdly help ease the neck feeling , try it for your self and maybe tell me if it helped you?
Again it will take a while to actually feel a change, took me prolly 6weeks , but I hope its lesser for you. And good luck friend I wish you the best of luck for your globus
@@Zweiihandre okay thank you ! im gonna try it’s really mainly the feeling of something stuck in my throat now i been on omprozale
@@careefreeelyss I see I also have that feeling any way then I hope you the best of luck friend
@@Zweiihandre any tips to get rid of it ?
About 4 days ago I got rice stuck in my throat so I drank a glass of water to get it down and ever since then I have ALL the symptoms of globus sensation. The thing is now I'm not sure what to think of this as globus sensation is commonly referred to as a symptom of anxiety, stress, acid reflux etc but I have all the symptoms of it after the rice situation. It feels like a ball of mucus at the bottom of my throat right before the collar bone starts if that makes sense and no matter how much I swallow its still there. Its honestly making me so stressed as there's constant tightness in my throat 24/7. I'm contemplation wheather I should go to the ER all day since it began.
@Anthony Padilla How did it start for you?
Same thing happened to me too its been stuck for like 5 days
@Anthony Padilla that’s me right now i have Gerd i’m trying to find a remedy to get rid of it they keep saying my test came back good so it has to be my anxiety

Hi doc i just got this globus for like weeks ago or no because i punch try punching my throat or irritated it because i thought it will be cured do i have globus sensation or is it because i punch it
I’ve had this for 3 years now and I need to find a way to make it go away
Hey doc! I had a lump feeling come up last week. Exactly how you described and I have had reflux. It seems to be gradually improving over the past few days, but when would you recommend I should go to the doctors? No hoarseness and no neck or throat pain, just the discomfort.
Yes dude , same thing... It sucks... My dad had Esaphogal Cancer , had the same feeling for years. They said it's only acid reflux turned out to be a huge tumor in his throat. I hope I don't have the same.
If it does not go away within several weeks of reflux treatment, you should get checked out. As another commenter has mentioned. Rarely, some of these symptoms could be an early symptom of esophageal or laryngeal cancer.
Hey man is your globus gone?
I believe I also have globus from reflux but I couldn't prove it, but I did remember having reflux the night before having this feeling its been months now.
Im a bit worried now I feel like anxiety has just kicked just took its place
@@Zweiihandre yes it did! It did return once or twice also due to reflux. Try to say relaxed as much as possible for a few days and try to objectively gauge it. Anxieties really do make it worse. For example, you remember those old cartoons when a character got scared? They did that exaggerated gulp, which is referencing the same sensation.
@@christiansmith4574 thanks mate, last question is during your globus do you keep adjusting your head? Every time you look down? Cause I always need to adjust cause it kinda feel like its choking me (but obvsly it doesnt) but yeh thats my last question
Does this condition affect breathing, I've been having similar sensations in and off and sometimes it feels like I have shortness of breath from it
This typically does not affect breathing. It would be best if you get checked out by your doctor.
Bro it's anxiety
Prolly epilottitis?
Sounds like a severe allergic reaction to something you are eating. Stop eating it
I have it for 11 years
I got high an started coughing way to hard. Can this cause it?
hello sir
my grand mother have iner lump in her throat which cause many problems like lungs infection and swollen food and so on....please recomend an athentic remedy for her.
Mine just feels like theres something moving inside and everytime i sleep without strangling myself i paralyze pls help :((
feel something stuck in my throat and i feel burning sensation sometime. also one side of neck is feeling a little pain or tiredness in neck. its been weeks now. any idea what is it please ? i need help
How you feeling now ?
@@Nelly-kl9rl feeling good, actually i figured my self out what was wrong with me. it was actually dry mouth. the allergy pills for sneezing and emprazole for acidity. both were drying me out so i got bad dry mouth. coz i suddenly noticed i wasnt getting any mucus and any allergy at all. so i suddenly stopped my medication and after 3 days im feeling almost 90% recovered. i hate being n medication as they fix one problem and start another
@@azeemmaloomat8413 hi please for how long did you use this medication and how do you feel now?
Been stressed out lately now I have this, this sucks😭
I hate the feeling. I have it. The sensation i have is like a group of air can't get out. Its pretty annoying. So what I did is drink a room temperature coke and its help me burp. And once the air releases, I felt better. I mostly have it after I ate. Beef meat cause mostly of having this sensation ( air like stuck in my throat or lump)
Exactly
I cant drink coke, i have GERD.

Hey for the people who are feeling this right now, Do you guys feel this on one side of your neck area, and do you feel tiredness on your colar bone and neck area? If so let me know i don’t wanna be alone, I have also noticed when im with my gf or family And enjoying time with them by talking a lot, i noticed i don’t feel anything, but once im alone in my room i start getting that feeling
Hi bro i get the same feeling when I’m alone it’s bad make me feel like I’m totally fit and shit like that i have this neck issue too like stiffness in my right jaw area
Same here. When I'm with my bf, napping or doing smth to keep my mind away from it, it goes away but as soon as i think abt it, it come back. It's so annoying and usually feels suffocating. I had it once in a while over the past months but not it's becoming more recurrent....maybe it's cuz I'm stressing over exams
@@hopudesu9655 Hey yea you should be fine, mine is completely gone, the best way is to drink a lot of water as well and just try your hardest to not think about it ik its hard, but i mean at least you know you’re not dying or it’s something serious that’s life threatening also so many people are dealing with this everyday so you are not alone
Hey bro! I’m having this problem in about a week. I also lost weight, my neck and throat killing me. It feels like something stuck in my throat and my neck hurts so bad. When I’m with my friends and when I don’t think about it goes away. But when I think about it, it stress me a lot. My question is, did you lose weight during this global sensation problem and did you neck hurt? Thanks, appreciated!
@@atabekarapov9588 idk abt the weight loss part, i had more of bloat...prob need to go get it checked out but i did have neck pain and headaches. I even had chest pain that felt as if my chest was tightening. It was so stressful. I had the sensation for weeks but after doing what @zefy said it went away. It came back last week and i did what he said again and it went away. @zefy is the commentor before ur comment, it may help to give his suggestion a try. Just try you hardest to not focus on the sensation. When i get the feeling in my throat i just swallow it down instead of trying to force a burp. I just keep swallowing while doing smth that would distract me. May be hard the first few days but it works
so that annoying on my throat is a acid reflux 🤔
Have this for a year, and i will say its not very great. When it started the lump in neck was continuously there for a week. Then it got better and only shows up when i yawn or swallow spit repeatedly. Some guy in the comments said his got better with some accupunture slippers.
It feels like I SHOULD be able to burp it out, but I goddamn can't and its really pissing me off
@@avacachet7793 same it’s annoying
I have had this lump in my throat for months now. I keep trying to swallow due to my anxiety and it gives me extremely bad gas. Its so annoying
@@therealmoonrok3387 I feel your pain
Globus can certainly be a very annoying problem - for both patients and doctors. I sympathize with all of you. The more you stress about it, the worse it feels. Reducing stress or focus on a problem is certainly easier said than done. Trying consistent reflux medication for at least 2 months can often be helpful, but you should always be evaluated by your physician.
That's literally a SERIOUS allergic reaction
I feel like im jsut dehydration amd thay whay caused it, but know thay i was talking to my brother it clear away but it comes back in seconds i cant i can handel dtress pretty well but this this is causing me to not feel well and causing me to stress more the choking i feel like ill die in my sleep
Hello doc. I have the same feeling but I feel like it’s hard to breathe what can it be?
And I have acid reflux as well
How do u feel now?
Traducir por favor
I feel like I have to be clear my throat often but i don't have a swallowing issue but my lower neck is slightly swollen. Sometimes I panic about it. I feel it alot when I'm stress
I have done another video on chronic cough and throat clearing. You may want to check those out. Although stress isn't the sole source of these problems, stress typically makes all of these problems worse.
Frustrating that the doctors want o blame a lump in the throat to acid reflux versus anxiety. Then they get on you tube to solicit your business instead of helping someone right here right now.
Thats so true. Then they offer horrible drugs and they keep the good treatment to themselves
There is one more thing: CERVICAL INSTABILITY that can cause this!
Anxiety can definitely be a contributing factor.
After I took antibiotics I’ve had globus and acid reflux 💔 my anxiety is so bad
Aniexty/acid reflux can cause globus sensation.
Just make sure you get it checked with ent and ultrasound, if it’s all clear then you know it’s just an annoying feeling and nothing serious 👍🏼
Hi the same happened to me. I suffer with acid reflux anyway, however I had a course of antibiotics and this globus sensations started straight away.
@@c.m5043how is now
Globus Sensation is real, I've been experiencing it for 1 week now, and it seems that aside from the throat sensation, my back feels heavy occasionally. I wasn't really sure if its due to Globus Sensation or it's just my anxiety.

Laryngopharyngeal reflux is certainly a common cause of these symptoms.
