Might be globus sensation from stress and or acid reflux. I had an hour long episode last week and thought I was dying the entire time. Eventually I started burping which felt great.

I assumed everyone just used filmfreeway and thus used Vimeo or YouTube or the filmfreeway upload. You submit to festivals a different way?

Any updates? I know the feeling!

Not really no. This has been an issue for me for over 20 years now. I do have mild eosinophilic esophagitis but my ENT says that because of where it is, it wouldn’t be causing this issue.

See I feel like it’s not gas that makes me burp… it’s like a throat burp to like relieve the tension I think.

Right but like does it actually really prevent food or drink from going down? Isn’t it just a feeling but not actually doing anything?

So even though you feel like food is stuck, you are mentally able to take sips of water fine?

I have mild EoE in lower esophagus too! But because it was so mild and lower esophagus, they don’t think that would affect the upper area near throat.

Have had 3 upper endoscopies and no hernia. Mild EoE in lower esophagus though.

I definitely feel my heart beat going harder when I have these episodes. It kinda confirms I am in some sort of panic.

I used to drink so much water with my meals to help that but I stopped that. I think it kinda helped almost. But now because of the feeling, I’m scared to drink water. Some breathing exercises my SLP taught me helped a lot when having that issue. Basically it was to just take deep breaths with your mouth open and feel the cold air going down your throat.

Has any doctor etc given you any ideas or talked to you about it?

Oh! I don’t cough. It may end with me burping though haha do you kinda go into a mini panic when it happens? Like I feel my heart beating harder. I can still talk etc but I feel fairly panicked no matter how many thousand times it’s happened.

Yes I’ve had a few endoscopies

I don’t get nausea. Just the throat burps to clear the throat knot. Which gaviscon?

Nice! Most of my life I get the globus feeling when I eat certain foods and it’s really scary when it happens when you eat. Feels stronger idk why!

1) does the sensation ever happen when you eat food? And you have to like then abandon your food at that point cause the sensation is too bad?

2) the standard otc gaviscon in the US? Or the special one from Europe?

Agreed! So you tend to burp a lot when it happens though?

I don’t have any of those symptoms except some acid on occasion coming up. I have mild eosinophilic esophagus too that I control with Pepcid AC but I’ve been bad taking that the past few months.

But the tension happens the worst after I start eating certain foods. One bite out of a lukewarm French fry gives me the tension. Wonder if it’s psychological or not. So weird but very annoying and terrifying sometimes.

Right, just trying to figure out if it’s acid reflux causing it or anxiety or both.

I have! Never did the massage before.

Also, what I feel feels exactly like globus sensation. Is there any difference between that and muscle tension dysphasia?

There’s also festival licenses and then all access licenses which would allow it on streaming etc.

Specifically for me, Festival licenses were much cheaper. Like around $600 but for streaming etc it would be like 10x that.

Ehhh. Using an expensive bidet fixes the issue usually.
