Post-nasal drip: Excess mucus dripping down the back of the throat, which can feel like a lump or something stuck.
Acid reflux (GERD): Stomach acid reaching the throat can lead to a sensation of something being stuck, especially after eating.
Globus sensation: This is a common condition where people feel like there’s a lump in their throat, often caused by stress, anxiety, or minor irritation.
Muscle tension: Tightness in the throat muscles may lead to this sensation, especially after eating or when lying down
Next Steps
Keep track of any specific foods or behaviors that may trigger the sensation. Avoid eating large meals or lying down immediately after eating to minimize acid reflux.
Health Tips
: Drinking water or chewing gum can help alleviate the sensation by promoting saliva production and soothing your throat

Thanks for sending across your query.
It could be globus sensation—a common, harmless feeling of something stuck in the throat, often linked to acid reflux, stress, or muscle tension. We have tailored treatment to ease your discomfort.
Next Steps
For further details you can consult with me in Dr. Monga medi clinic or consult me directly by taking a consultation on Practo.

• This could be due to acid reflux (GERD) or globus sensation, which is harmless and often triggered by stress or acidity.
• Try avoiding spicy food, eat early dinners, and stay upright after meals.
• You can take a short course of antacid or PPI (like pantoprazole) once daily before breakfast.
