Hi Hazel

I am not able to help on this one and not even sure what globus hystericus is? I hope your doctors appointment goes well tomorrow let us know how it goes.

H.N.,

I removed your e-mail from your post...anyone can see it here as threads are open to the public, and therefore not safe/secure.

However, you can put it in your profile (just click on my profile, upper left of this page) and that way only our members can have access.:)

my appt went well.  he ended up doing an intra-nasal endoscopy down my throat which the novacaine freaked me out since you can't feel your throat.  ughhh  but i survived. ha 

found nothing of any kind that was obstructive.  so i'm relieved.  i told himmy son joined the army recently and he said that is stressful.  he was very kind.  he said his son is in afghanistan.  so globus hystericus.  said the neck mucles can tighten and make it feel like a choking feeling.  the more you thinka bout it the worse it gets.  ugh

I had this years ago and had to get the scope like you did. Believe it or not about a week or two after I got the scope it went away on its own. I guess knowing that it wasn't anything physical maybe helped me on a subconscious level. I do get it every now and then and I just have to reassure myself that its nothing that can hurt me. I used to try to sip somethng hot...it would kind of relax the muscles a bit and provide some relief. I noticed that when I was very busy it wouldn't happen so trying to keep yourself distracted can help too.

thanks. i was ok all weekend and then i get to work and all day that's all i can think about. ughh drinking chamomile tea and sucking on candy - not helping. even took 1/2 a klonopin awhile ago. don't even feel it yet. weird. as soon as i pick up my little one from school, it usually subsides. he keeps me preoccupied. doesn't help my older son stressed me out again yesterday - he's off to basic training in a month and i wish i could teach him to respect his elders but it's not working. hopefully the army will do that. we can only hope. ugh

Hi I have been recently diagnosed with globus sensation it is the worst thing I have ever dealt with. I am totally fixated on my health I have quit smoking because of it the one good thing that has come from this experience.

I am a 26 year old with a young family I absolutely adore and fear this is effecting immensely as I am no longer my happy go lucky self but fixated on my health and extremely anxious about it.

I hope it passes I have had numerous tests bloods CT scans ultrasounds and still nothing they want to medicate me for my anxiety but I don't want to become reliant on something that my body should not need anyway hang in their and we can support each other I will keep you posted if I get some relief.

Thanks guys. Nick

Nick - I started you a thread of your own so you would have the opportunity to meet other members as well as not get lost at the bottom of this thread which I will lock down now.

 

Look for the title with your name in it.

 

 

Kindly,

Kitt

Hi Nick and welcome!

I am sorry to hear or your recent anxiety struggles. The globus sensation wa my first anxiety symptom as well.

Hopefully reading through other threads...(you can see that you are not alone!)...you will get some ideas for relief. You can also do a search of older threads on this subject. Just hit the search icon and put in the key wordds globus, lump in throat, ect.

I can also recommend looking into our Resource Guide here for self help ideas to lower your anxiety. The breathing and relaxation links are great, and can significantly lower stress if practiced daily. Also consider getting some books on health anxiety relief. I can give you recomendations if you like.

If you find you are still challenged with this issue, you may want to inquire about a therapy referral from your doctor. I have recovered well from panic and health anxiety due to this method of treatment.:)

Keep posting here with us as well, we are here to listen and understand!
