Globus: If the discomfort was severe, I would expect there was an effect on your stomach and/or esophagus. A herniation of part of the stomach through the diaphragm is a consideration. Are you've experiencing reflux,food sticking in your chest, chest discomfort? If so, I recommend consulting a gastroenterologist for evaluation and advice.
