Maybe you should...: When taken together, globus sensation & air swallowing with resulting belching are consistent with stress/anxiety, but from here we can't rule out GERD, dysmotility, or even atypical cardiac pain. You did not provide us your age relative to age-appropriate risk factors for the latter. If any doubt or you know yourself to be at risk, please get checked.

Hi. I have a very sore throat. More in the centre of the throat and not the sides. Also very gassy and burping a lot. Some coughing, phlegm is clear?
Earlier, I felt like I had to burp. When I tried to burp, it turned into about to throw up. When I tried to prevent myself from throwing up on my desk, I started coughing, and now my throat is burning. I also had phlegm. What do you think happened?
