Ok guys...so I think I finally convinced myself that my heart 'issue' isn't real..but now for the last 2 days I feel like there's a lump in the bottom of my throat, like the bottom of my neck where the indent is. it feels full & like there's a lump, and also causes some slight trouble breathing. it's not constant but has been there alot. No pain swallowing, no pain eating...does anyone have any idea what this could be? ugh...always something!!!

It's a common sensation with anxiety and GERD! It's called Globus something. Ppl have posted about it on here before. You're ok!

G,
My anxiety tends to move. Once I get used to a symptom, it moves to a different part of my body. For me, it tends to be a good thing because then I really believe it's my anxiety.

Hi

Yes this is a common symptom of anxiety I get it all the time and it can feel uncomfortable and annoying but it should pass once you get your anxiety down.

I get this too, and according to my docs, it's anxiety. I was convinced otherwise, of course. LOL.

I too have this! I went from focusing on my heart to focusing on my throat. I went to an ENT and he said it's a combo of gerd and anxiety. If I can figure out how to post it, I have a great website I found all about throat anxiety!

GM.,

My very first anxiety symptom...years ago!!

Do a Search here (upper right toolbar)...you will find many threads to read through! (key words lump in the throat, globus hystericus, laryngospasm)

Relaxation exercises and coping skills will help to bring down your overall anxiety, and thus this symptom.:)

GMoon,

Please see a GI doc when you can. I do believe it's a GERD/anxiety combination.

Things improved for me after I was finally convinced my heart is awesome.

Thank you all so much...like always! This forum is like a life saver..it's so nice to have people to talk to about this stuff that don't think you're crazy or a drama queen. I'm so grateful for you all!!!!
For now the lump feeling is gone (thank god) and my only real issue today is exhaustion and irritability..but I can handle that. I hope you all are having a great day!

I've had this before, too. I'd see a doc just to make sure all is okay!
