Hi, I had a total thyroidectomy (papillary thyroid cancer) in July. I am constantly clearing my throat due to feeling like something is stuck in my throat. I have to keep myself busy or it drives me crazy thinking about it. Night time is the worse. I actually dread going to sleep because I can't get comfortable with the feeling of something stuck in my throat.
Sometimes are better than others. I do believe it may have a bit to do with acid reflux. I have noticed if I burp it helps. (I know that sounds crazy) Also, I have found if I don't eat soon before bedtime it's more tolerable.
I hope knowing you are not the only one having this issue helps.
Good luck to everyone!
