Globus pharyngeus

Common card · No. 273621

Globus pharyngeus (also termed globus pharyngis, globus hystericus, or globus sensation) is the persistent but painless sensation of having a pill, food bolus, or some other sort of obstruction in the throat when there is none. Swallowing is typically performed normally, so it is not a true case of dysphagia, but it can become quite irritating. It is common, with 22–45% of people experiencing it at least once in their lifetime.
