Your history of depression and anxiety may be associated with emotional factors that result in a lump feeling or tightness in the throat, which is sometimes known as the globus sensation. Given that you are suffering from the recurrent symptoms, it is necessary to seek help of a psychiatrist for thorough evaluation of your mental health treatment including the efficacy aspect of Sertraline medication. Managing emotional health is not as easy and at the same time, at times there may be a need to adjust the therapy or any meds for better wellbeing.
