Overview

Globus pharyngis is defined as the persistent sensation of having phlegm or some other sort of obstruction in the throat when there is none.

Pathophysiology

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.

Differentiating Globus from other Disorders

Swallowing can be performed normally, so it is not a true case of dysphagia, but it can become quite irritating.
