A member asked:

Have no other symptoms except globus sensation, and ent saw no problems in the throat. after 2 weeks, how long can globus last, and what can i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

GERD vs. anxiety: Globus or a lump in the throat feeling is cause by muscle tightness at the entrance to the esophagus. It can be due to LPR ( high gastric reflux of acid) or anxiety. This is a symptom, not a disease, and as such will not disappear until the cause is found and treated. First see a GI specialist to rule out GERD.
