A member asked:

I had a tight lump in your throat feeling, now feel fine. what could it have been?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

? GERD: The sensation you are describing is called a globus sensation - like something is caught in your throat. It has many potential causes including reflux (gerd), thyroid enlargement, enlarged lymph nodes, post nasal drip. I'd recommend that you see your doctor.
