Globus -anxiety

Hello everyone for the past 3 months I have been dealing with anxiety and acid reflux this all came about from the stress of daily life school work home life getting older grandparents becoming sick and with just alot on my mind at all times I was going to wedding with my bf and was wondering why it was not me standing up there in that dress getting married we have been together for 6 years but besides all of that i thought i was getting a hold of things but turns out i wasnt one day at work i was called down the the big boses office with four others for something very small and I got so upset i broke out in hives i had no idea what was going on i turned bright red and from there my anxiety went into overload i would cry for no reason my stomach was turned inside out i could not eat anything with grease at all it was so bad i had alot of acid when i went to the bathroom and wet acid brown gas it was grose i know i just wanted to stay in the bed at all times i stopped all house work and cooking for my family and would go to work come home and get in the bed because it was so bad. I didnt want to talk on the phone at times i would get so spacey and out of it and not know what was going on I then went to my dr who really didnt care he just said to calm down here is prilosec and it will go away but didnt care abt the anxiety a couple days later i went back again to the dr who then put me on a depression meds that made me sick i went to er and they gave me ativain which made me relax and go to sleep and it was on 0.5mg . I even went to a on site psychiatrist at my job. who helped me out alot for the past 3 weeks my stomach started to improve and then one day we were going out to eat with friends and i got very anxious because of the food choices and very nervous that's when i noticed this throat thing which i thought it was just a sore throat at times i had to keep swallowing alot and the dr said it was post nasal drip i started taking clartin then zyrtec d which helped alot once that was over  i still felt the lump feeling in my throat as if i was being pulled and being tightness in my throat it feels as if your abt to cry and you get that lump feeling in your throat thanksgiving was coming up and i wanted to be able to enjoy my family i decided to take half of the ativan because a whole would make me sleep. i started on wed night and by Saturday the tightness had eased up but not completly gone i also to naproxin (aleve) which also helped to but i would still worry as to why its not gone yesterday i started feeling as if i have a hair in the back of my throat and the tightness and pulling is starting to relax but i still have that feeling as something is there i went back to the dr who seem not to care at all and said that it will go away and just left I am happy that its starting to ease but i just wanted to know why does this last so long and how do you know that its going away and how come anxiety meds help to re leave this. Globus is harmless thats what the dr keeps saying and from what i have read i have tried alot of things and want this to just go away

I have put a link here to a YouTube segment that discusses Globus. I hope it will answer some questions and possibly calm you down. BUT...............watching this is NOT a substitute for seeing your doctor and having certain tests done to rule out any serious problems. I want to make that very clear.
I hope this will help you.
Peace
