Globus pharyngis (also known as globus sensation, globus or, somewhat outdatedly, globus hystericus; commonly referred to as having a "lump in one's throat") is the persistent sensation of having
phlegm or some other sort of obstruction in the
throat when there is none. Swallowing can be performed normally, so it is not a true case of
dysphagia, but it can become quite irritating.
