A member asked:

Occasionally feel like something is stuck in my throat, what could cause that?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Globus: This symptom is commonly due to tension and stress. It is termed "globus hystericus). Of course before this diagnosis is made you should have a careful throat and neck examination by your physician or an Otolaryngologist.
