Not likely: Globus sensation and anxiety tend to appear together. See an ENT doctor for laryngeal exam to r/o gerd.

Potential: This is potentially gerd. You should go to a gastroenterologist for baseline endocopy and if gerd you need a proton pump inhibitor such as Nexium (esomeprazole) or prilosec.
