Finally got my phone call about Upper Gi and Baruim Swallow tests. Nothing. All looked fine. So whats the next possible diagnosis? Gobus Hystericus. Prescription of meds ( Klonopin ) to see if it is indeed anxiety related. If that doesnt solve it.... time for scope to take a look inside. What is Gobus Hystericus?....Lets see what google says..... Sometimes referred to as a globus sensation, globus hystericus is the feeling of having something stuck in the throat. The phenomenon is sometimes known colloquially as having a frog or lump in the throat. This condition does not actually interfere with the process of swallowing, although it tends to make the action somewhat uncomfortable. It is not unusual for people to experience this condition when under a lot of stress or dealing with a situation that makes them nervous or anxious. The symptoms of globus hystericus are relatively straightforward. For the individual suffering with this condition, there seems to be something lodged firmly in the throat. Attempts to swallow the obstruction are not successful, even when drinking a beverage in an attempt to wash it down. In the more severe cases, the individual may feel some discomfort in the upper chest or possibly some pain during the process of swallowing. However, it is still possible to swallow normally, although with less comfort. When it comes to defining causes for globus hystericus, anxiety is often cited as one of the more common reasons the condition develops. Stress, fear, and anxiety may combine to create this sensation of having something stuck in the throat. However, there is also the possibility that the condition comes about due to a developing inflammation in the larynx or hypopharynx.
