Globus sensation

[underwaterrhymes]

Does anyone else get this? It’s so annoying. Obviously not life threatening or painful; just this uncomfortable feeling of something being stuck in my throat when there’s nothing there.

Usually I have to wait a few days for it to calm down, but does anyone have a solution for it that has worked for you?

Do you take an antacid?

I do for heartburn, but it has no effect on globus.

Yes. No solution.

Fuck. That’s what I thought.

Sorry you experience this too.

Yes, but I was then diagnosed with EoE via upper endoscopy.  Things were actually getting stuck in my throat, not just the sensation. In my case it is worsened by food triggers.

I have an endoscopy and colonoscopy scheduled early next year. It will be interesting to see if there is anything extra going on.

How are you doing now?

I didn’t know this was a thing, but definitely have had this happen. I’ll to look further into it. It’s pretty rare, like maybe not even yearly that I can remember, but I’m going to start paying attention to it more if/when it happens again.

I've found EFT tapping works to provide relief. I have a friend who uses the meditation I linked below.

Thank you! I will try this.

Yes, I do have this intermittently. Have not found a solution. It's really annoying.

I also get it. It's worse with increased anxiety for me.

Same. It’s really irritating.

Same, which is especially frustrating because the discomfort adds to my base stress level.
