Q I have lived with this lump-in-the-throat feeling for years. Can it still improve?
A Being long-standing does not put it beyond help. Rather than disappearing one day, the time you feel it shortens and its intensity thins out. Using that change as your yardstick tells you whether the direction is right.
Detailed Answer
Long-standing globus is built in layers from tension, stagnation in the stomach, and the sensitivity of anticipating it. Touching only one of them moves little. More hours spent forgetting about it is usually the first sign.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
Judging it only as "present or absent" makes improvement feel like failure. Note how many times a day you became aware of it and in what situation. If that count is falling, the direction is right.
