Globus = Nausea and Breathing

Ears, nose and throat
1

I suffer from Acid Reflux therefore have to put up with Globus Sensation. The sensation of the lump in my throat causes nausea and sometimes the feeling of not being able to breathe.

I have many varied symptoms of Reflux but the Globus is definitely the most uncomfortable. With the 'lump' present, I cannot burp any gas and that's what will not relieve the nausea. It's a horrible sensation. Then at times the 'lump' is so prevelant I find myself gasping for breath. I take 80 mg of Pantoprazole daily but it doesn't help as I imagine the lump is caused by anxiety for the most part. The Dr. has suggested Diazapaem but I don't want to go that route. I wondered though if anyone else experiences nausea or shortness of breath due to Globus?

Thanks for your response. I feel like I'm having a heart attack too at times. My problem is that most times I can't do a big burp because of vthe stupid lump lol.

Totally agree with you. the feeling is like you are trying to hold back your tears. The more you worry about it the linger it stays. Hope we will feel better soon and fight this globus sensation.
