Mine is a long story, I've had a sensation in my throat for 9 years and it never goes away it just eases up from one part of the day to the other. Night time It eases up most of the time. I had anxiety once in a while those past 9 years but have been able to function until this...

Its good to get checked out for other problems like the reflux or maybethroat spasms or see an allergist to check for allergies. Not the ENT but an Allergist. Only see the ENT for throat related things because even if he treats allergies he will just give you a pill. Shots are the best option and have no side effects.
The reason I also say yours sounds like globus is because you said you woke up one morning like that. Mine started because my uvula was elongating, I had it partially surgically removed then I was fine for nine or so months and then this other feeling came. Mine may be more physiological because of the stress i went through back then, so it may be a form of globus. But if you just woke up that way it may be globus hystericus, can't spell it. See a Christian Psychiatrist if possible because if you are going to take medication he is more studied with what works. It does not mean you are crazy. GAD, that is anxiety, is a common problem. Once you rule out all physical potentials then accept that it is globus so you can start healing from this. Please research the psychiatrist before you see him. I studied psychology for a very short while but long enough to know that there are some waco doctors out there. But there are very good ones too. Pray and ask God for guidence. You may e-mail me at ze1030@yahoo.com if you need more info or need prayer or to just vent. By the way, zanax xr 0.5 mg is a very low does anxiety medication that slowly releases into the blood stream. Try not to get the regular xanax which is good but can be addictive. Ask for the Zanax XR. See a regular doctor to help direct you and figure out solutions. Your ENT is not a regular doctor he is a specialist for ear nose and throat and thats it. By the way if any doctor wants to put you on an antidepressent I have some experiance with that too. My regular doctor put me on it and I had bad side effects. The Christian based Psychiatrist told me to listen to him about the medication and not take an antidepressent but I went with my regular doctors advice. In my case, I should have listened to the Psychiatrist. he told me i'm not depressed so i don't need an antidepressent even like Lexapro. those work great for some people i have friends who think its great. But for some like me it was not a good idea.

Friday, July 25, 2008 at 01:14 AMHi, I realize there are no posts to this for a while. I have the feeling of a lump in my throat and a dryness on the right side of my throat. My toungue seems to have a strange feeling too, just in the very back on the right side. I have seen my ENT dr. He looked inside with his scope and only saw some irritation. He thinks it could be gerd. I don't. I think it is anxiety because it comes and goes. I have had it for 2 months now. It drives me crazier than anything. I need releif soon.
