Bam,

Are you dealing with either GERD or allergies? Anxiety alone also can be the cause...

...but since you mention not being in a particularly anxious state, perhaps one of the above is causing, or exacerbating this issue?

GERD irritation can take a while to fully heal...

...I am sure it will resolve soon though.

Watch your diet, avoid any further reflux at night by sleeping as propped up as possible...

...and practice your anxiety management skills.

You will be alright.

Have you ever experienced this ?

I have had globus from anxiety...no fun! :/

I drank a lot of liquids...both cold and hot, depending on what felt best at the time...

...and I also gently massaged the throat area, and let my head hang back, and my mouth open...to encourage the muscles there to relax.

...and of course anxiety coping skills.

It went away with time.

Many years back I had this sort of I felt like I was always breathing through a straw and couldn't eat anyhing was all liquids for many months went to the hospital. Doc gave me an Ativan and it went away. Mine was all caused by anxiety so it's possible.
Sending you healing bones hope u feel better soon

Hi

Sorry to hear you are having these bothersome symptoms.

It is something which I suffer with a lot and it's due to my anxiety so when ever my anxiety is high this is one of the main symptoms I get. Once I have lowered my anxiety it does improve but can take a while to go.
