Globus pharyngis

Started by Susan 2/7/2012 12:39:22 PM

I have what I can only figure to be globus pharyngis.

Last night I ate an orange and afterwards felt like a lump in my chest (like I swallowed the food whole and it just got stuck there).  This isn't the first time something like this has happened.  It occurs occasionally and chips seem to be the biggest culprit (which I ate two hours before the orange last night).  

This morning when I woke up the sensation was gone but came back after I ate my oatmeal for breakfast and again after I had a snack of nuts mid-morning (and is still here after I finished my lunch), but the feeling is now more in my upper throat instead of chest.  

Does anyone else ever get this?  Any tips or tricks on preventing it or making the feeling go away faster?

It's super annoying.  I think what's annoying me most right now is that there has been consecutive episodes.  Usually it's just once and then when it goes away it's gone for good.  I must just really have quite the throat irritation going on.

I still had it after work.  I went to exercise right away (since I only have so much daylight) and had a cup of tea and honey afterwards.   I think the combination of the two made it go away.  Good advice!  Thanks!  :)
