It all started in july when my tongue started twitching non stop and mybjaw tightened ans i was lisping was told i had tmj and got treatment since then my tongue still twitches but i dont lisp andmy jaw pains gone. However now I feel like a lump was in my throat 3 weeks ago. I can chug water just fine, I don't feel like like in choking or coughing or it's going down the wrong way. It just feels like once I swallow up at the top of my throat there's a lump it needs to go over and it feels like that lump slowly goes down. I'm concerned it's not a lump but actually the water taking it's time to go down but like I said it's only if sip water if I take big drinks it's fine and I don't feel it with food or like my coffee. I can sometimes feel it if I just normally swallow or if i clear my throat it comes back some. I may add it's only the right side and my thyroid has been swollen on that side at the bottom

I'm waiting for a drs appt but I'm concerned.

I also have gerd, chronic nasal drainage and health anxiety . I just cant shake that this is it progressing from july.

Hello-

I don't usually tell people to look things up online, but if you search the term "globus" you will find a great description. I have a feeling you don't really have a specific question here and are just looking for reassurance to carry you through til your doctor's appointment. I would ask you to read the pinned Read Before Posting whenever you are needing a bit more reassurance. I think you know nothing about this is related to ALS, but are asking for a little extra push from the folks here in order to actually believe it.

Please consider blocking ALS sites and searching until your doctor's appointment to reduce your anxiety.

Take care
