Many people that report globus sensation actually have problems with their thyroid. There are many different types of thyroid disease, but globus sensation is most likely to occur in people that have an abnormality that is already causing them other issues or post-thyroidectomy. It is not clear why thyroid disease causes symptoms of globus sensation, but removing the thyroid appears to help the symptoms go away for most people. Other thyroid diseases can also cause similar problems, although they may come or go depending on how well the thyroid disease is being managed.
