Globus Hystericus: The 'lump in the throat' sensation that is often caused by inflammation of one or more parts of the throat, such as the larynx or hypopharynx due to gastroesophageal reflux (GERD) and other causes. Besides medication for GERD, losing weight, not eating spicy food, peppermint, chocolate, loosening your belt and elevating headrest of bed can help with symptoms.
