Overview
Globus pharyngis (also known as globus sensation, globus or, somewhat outdatedly, globus hystericus; commonly referred to as having a "lump in one's throat") is the persistent sensation of having phlegm or some other sort of obstruction in the throat when there is none. Swallowing can be performed normally, so it is not a true case of dysphagia, but it can become quite irritating.
The "lump in the throat" sensation that characterizes globus pharyngis is usually due to the inflammation of one or more parts of the throat such as the larynx or hypopharynx. It may also be caused by anxiety disorders.
Causes
Causes In Alphabetic Order
The "lump in the throat" sensation has also been found in some cases to be caused by heartburn (Gastroesophageal reflux disease) where the acid in your stomach can back up into the esophagus and sometimes into the back of the throat.
