I'm here today to evaluate a persistent globus sensation in my lower throat. It feels like a constant tightness or as if something is stuck there, though it doesn't seem to impact my ability to actually swallow food. Along with this, I am experiencinga feeling of heaviness and a stretching sensation that radiates up into my ears. I'd like to know what might be causing this localized pressure.

How long have you been experiencing this globus sensation?:

- Less than 1 week

How would you describe the intensity of this sensation?:

- Moderate — bothersome but manageable

Do you notice any specific activities that worsen your symptoms?:

- Physical activity

Have you experienced any other symptoms alongside this sensation?:

- Sore throat

How is your overall digestive health?:

- Occasional bloating or gas

Have you had any recent stress or emotional changes?:

- Yes, significant stress or anxiety

Have you tried any treatments or remedies for this sensation before?:

- No, this is the first time seeking help

Your symptoms may be related to throat muscle spasm / globus sensation, which commonly gets triggered by stress, acidity/reflux, or throat irritation. Ear heaviness can happen because the throat and ear areas are closely connected. Avoid very spicy foods, late-night meals, repeated throat clearing, and excess tea/coffee. Warm water and steam inhalation may help. Sutshekhar ras – 1 tablet twice daily after food Yashtimadhu churna – ½ tsp with warm water twice daily Avipattikar tablet – 1 tablet at bedtime if acidity is present If you develop difficulty swallowing, breathing issues, voice changes, or worsening pain, ENT evaluation is advised. Regards, Dr Raghuveer (Ayurvedacharya)
