3 related questions?: 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" & it fits the same mechanism of GI spasms seen with Irritable Bowel Syndrome & anxiety you may have. Alternatively, you may have laryngo-esophageal reflux without heartburn. Sometimes, the actual swallowing mechanism may be impaired due to "spasms" or dysmotility.
