I wouldn't call it difficult swallowing but it is somewhat bothersome. The feeling just comes and go. Thanks for any help you may provide. Alex Dear Alex, Some patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease have the feeling of a lump in the throat without a mechanical cause for the difficulty in swallowing. This is called globus sensation.
Some patients can pinpoint the area in the chest where the food gets stuck.
You may also benefit from anti-reflux measures and medical treatment for gastroesophageal reflux. An enlarged thyroid or goiter can also sometimes cause dysphagia. Your doctor can help you develop a management plan. This response is being provided for general informational purposes only and should not be considered medical advice or consultation.
