Otolaryngologist: I recommend a careful examination of your mouth, throat and ear by an Otolaryngologist. The ear discomfort may referred from throat pathology. These are not classic symptoms of globus hystericus or GERD. Anxiety can give one the sensation of a lump in the throat, but I feel that isn't the issue here. You may be deficient in saliva. I assume chronic mouth breathing isn't the problem.

Can GERD give you tight throat sensation and choking feeling sensation? I went to the ER since I thought food was stuck in my throat, but they never checked the inside, but said I can eat, drink and talk. Which means most likely nothing is there?

Can GERD cause a feeling of something stuck in your throat that gets worse when drinking liquids? Even water and warm tea make the sensation of "a lump" worse for a few minutes until swallowing a few times?
