Lump In Throat Articles

Lump in Throat and Difficulty Swallowing
Globus Hystericus
It is caused by the muscles in the throat contracting due to anxiety or stress. Sometimes it feels like you cannot swallow anything and trying to makes it worse. This is another example of a symptom, which will improve if you give it no credibility. It is totally harmless and will not cause you to stop breathing, eating or drinking, it is just very unpleasant.

Some people have Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease, or GERD, without even knowing it. They may feel like they have a lump feeling in the throat or have food stuck in their throat or like they are choking or their throat is sore or tight, or hoarseness in the morning, or trouble swallowing. Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) can also cause a dry cough and bad breath, and breathing difficulties similar to asthma.

Always get a second opinion if you are not sure about your diagnosis. It is always best to seek professional medical care and advice from your physician with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition.
