Foreign body sensation in the throat, commonly known as Globus Sensation, is the feeling that something is stuck in the throat — even when nothing is actually present.
It may feel like a lump, tightness, irritation, or blockage while swallowing saliva. In many cases, it is not painful but can be uncomfortable and persistent.
This condition can be caused by throat inflammation, acid reflux, muscle tension, anxiety, thyroid enlargement, or rarely, an actual foreign object.
Although often harmless, persistent symptoms should be properly evaluated to rule out serious conditions.
You should consult a doctor if:
Evaluation may include throat examination and laryngoscopy to visualize the voice box and throat structures.
