My gastro doctor told me theres nothing wrong with you at all !!! he found no evidence of reflux in my digestive system at all, he looked at me and said just forget about the globus, and he told i dont have to take anything, my GP told me, im going to refer you to a ENT so you can a peace of mindthat theres nothing wrong !

It is only the globus thats bothering me !!

Interestingly enough my GP told me the same thing....He thinks it's all in my head.  He even gave me anti-depressant which I have not taken.  He asked if while I am working, do I feel the pain or the burning, which to be honest, when I am busy I don't think about it, so he thinks I bring it on myself.  I sleep fine, it's only when I wake up.  Yes sometimes I get mucus but nothing that was really bothering me.  What bothered me more was the burning tongue and the really soreness at the back of my throat.  I never had allergies so I never thought of it.  I always thought allergies came with runny nose, itchy throat and watery eyes and I don't have any of those symptoms.

My GP also thinks it might be anxiety and I have read that on the internet. It's not that bad now that I am taking the Clartin.  To be honest though, I am a worry freak, I worry about everything....I should take those anit-depressant lol

Have you thought of seeing an allergist?

whatever you do DO NOT take an anti depressant, I got offered xanax but refused to take it, Ive heard bad things about those kind of meds, I really think we just need a piece of mind thats all, cause ANXIETY can cause the human body to go through hell, lol im like you cindy, I worry about my health too, and im only 23 yr old male, lol if you want to take an anti depressant, take st johns wort which is more natural (its a suppelment) but i wouldnt tak ethat either,

no I havent seen an allergist, I dont think its allergies lol. At first I thought I had silent reflux, but the endoscopy showed everythings perfect and running great, they showed no signs of eflux whats so ever lo. or any strictures, I think I have the globus Hystericus caused by my emotional stress, I have had all the symptoms of emotional stress in the past cause I dont go out much and socilize !but I will see an ent to give me an evealuation of my vocal chords, so Im going to do a larynscopy soon !

The globus is the worst thing ever lol ill trade a sore throat for it anyday loll

you are so young to be worrying so much....don't do this to yourself.  How come at your age you worry about your health...most 23 year olds are out having a good time and worrying about school....

I didn't think mine was allergies but my pharmacist said that if the allergy pills help just even a little, it's allergies...they helped me a lot.  Trust me when I tell you that I never had any kind of allergies...

Go see the allergist....you have already done many tests that should give you some comfort.

Viper777ism, just curious how did your appointment with the ENT doctor go? I have a lot of the same symptoms as you, I'm also 23 years old and have a pain in my throat when my swallowing and a weak/tired/sore voice especially after talking a lot of talking loudly. It's actually getting really annoying because I have to avoid certain social events that take place in loud areas and I'm even having trouble at work when I have to speak loudly.

You might want to check out this paper. It's really long but very informative:http://www.hindawi.com/journals/ijol/2012/646901/

They have a paragraph towards the end about their hypothesis that lpr might cause lsn. I wonder if this might be occurring in my case because I have this pain and globus feeling but the ent doctor didn't see anything in my throat, so it seems like lsn would explain the pain.

Ok i am offf the PPIs cause my endoscopy was completly normal and my gastro doc(one of the best in my country proved there was nothing wrong with me, then I saw an ENT and did a flexible direct larynscopy test on me and said that everything was fine ( no inflamation, no redness, and my layrnx looked completly normal, theyve diagonisis me with the Globus hystericus or cricophayrengal spasm, they did offer me a muscle relaxant but I refused, as they said the natural way to get rid of this globus is to forget about it and I think its working :) lol

anyways im stil considerin on taking blackmores mens multivitamin in the future !

He also said you cant see the throat spasm, just give it time man, I also cant talk much this globus thing has to be alleviated fully to be back to normal, we gotta take it easy for a while, PS This whole thing started cause of my anger, stress, and mood swing, anyone who is emotionally stressed is at risk of getting globus, so we all got to try and stay happy as much as possible :)

And the thing is they ruled out silent reflux for me, they gastro doctor said I dont have LPR :/

Viper,

Maybe you could just take a small dose of relax meds for a short period of time?
