    Re: Globus Hystericus??? (not so hysterical)

    You have been a great help thank you, sat here really down with my little girl-fearing that I wont see her grow up!!!
    I think if I could have a camera put down my throat, and be told that it's nothing, I'd have more strength to ignore and get over it
    Have noticed recently with it I'm burping a hell of a lot, do u know of this being a symptom of Globus?

    Re: Globus Hystericus??? (not so hysterical)

    is this forum still active?

    i have had globus for 5 years. a day does not go by that i am not overcome by the symptoms for at least several hours. i often go to sleep with it and wake up with it. if i have coffee it is dramatically worse. xanax helps. obviously i have some sort of underlying anxiety issue. i have never seen a therapist. any suggestions of types of non-medicinal anxiety therapy i should seek? it's literally been 5 years of physically feeling like i am about to cry, yet im not 'sad'. help this is ruining my life.

    Re: Globus Hystericus??? (not so hysterical)

    It seems no one has contributed to this thread in a while, but considering this is the first time I've ever had globus I wanted to tell my story. In early November I got sick with heartburn so bad I thought I was having a heart attack. I was so scared while going through h. pylori testing (my negative results took a week) that by mid November I had burning mouth syndrome and globus. What a nightmare! By the end of November I had drenching night sweats.

    Convinced I'm dying I get an HIV test (took 2 more weeks to get my negative results).

    By this time I start dabbling with acid reflux meds because I'm burping and the golf ball hasn't left my throat. Fast forward, I visit a gastro intestinal specialist, he does a scope and says nothing is wrong with me - NOTHING, no parasites, no cancer, no ulcer.

    I see a dentist and periodontist because in addition to burning mouth my teeth hurt so bad on the bottom in the front. I am told it is most likely from clenching all night. I probably am clenching as I'm scared to death. Mind you by now, I've got these strange tongue ulcers and I'm freaking out.

    Then I see the ENT, says I'm fine. Really? I have globus. Is it stress related, most likely. Starting Citalopram praying for some relief. I should mention the inside of my throat around my tonsils is a darker pink, I wouldn't say red but it does look inflamed as does the back wall of my throat. I'm not taking any ppi meds now because you can't take anything with the Citalopram, not even aspirin.

    Most of my pain is on the right side. Sometimes it feels like it's at the very top of my neck and sometimes it moves down the V on the front of the throat. Yesterday it was in the other tonsil area? My mom died February 5th of a long-term illness and I'm fearing the same... this globus is certainly making things much, much worse. I've been suffering for 3.5 months now. I have noticed if I focus on globus the burning mouth goes away - burning mouth is worse by far. So maybe that's why globus is so bad right now, subconsciously I'd rather have globus than burning mouth?

    Re: Globus Hystericus??? (not so hysterical)

    I went to an ENT yesterday (here in London) and she said that stress and anxiety can cause you to produce more acid in your stomach. This in turn can cause symptoms like a cough, extra mucous, lump feeling in the throat and in turn, more stress, which in turn... etc etc!

    The best way to stop the cycle, is to stop the stress, eat healthy, think positive, exercise lots and force negativity out of your system. Bad food and bad living are no good!
