Globus sensation?: Do you experience the feeling of a ball or lump in the back of your throat that you have to swallow past? If so, this is "globus."  alternatively, you may have laryngo-esophageal reflux without heartburn. Sometimes, the actual swallowing mechanism may be impaired due to "spasms" or dysmotility. A gastroenterologist is your next point for evaluation.

Speech Pathologist: Despite the name not conveying an intuitive connection, speech pathologists also evaluate swallowing and may provide a different perspective.
In case you are anemic, take oral iron and multivitamins. Iron deficiency is known to cause throat issues.
Wish you good health!

Question 5

it actually feels as though there is a lump in my throat. it hurts to swallow, but not sore throat hurt.  what could be the cause?

Reflux: One of the most common reasons my patients complain of this symptom is acid reflux. A small bit of acid can come up when you lie flat and it causes swelling of the larynx. This causes the feeling that something is stuck in your throat. Avoid -spicy foods, eating late a night, acid foods. Try Prilosec otc for a couple of weeks and if it doesn't get better see an ent.
