    I have anxiety too and when I get that lump it's usually because of acid reflux. to ease the symptoms, chew some gum to get more saliva in your mouth. minty is best- also drink some water and don't lay down for a bit. peppermint tea also helps

    It's official name is 'globus pharyngis' and is usually caused by an inflammation of the larynx and/or hypopharynx. It's mainly seen in people who have anxiety disorders like yourself. It's normal, and nothing to worry about unless is causes a problem with your breathing, which then you need to see a doctor right away.
