What causes Clicking or Popping in Throat when Swallowing?

It is definitely uncomfortable... Thank you for the reassurance for me to see an ENT. My primary care doctor is a nurse practitioner and she just asked me how the clicking started and felt my throat area. She pressed hard on my neck so the throat wasn't able to move to click. She didn't see anything and just asked if I wanted an x-ray done. I think it might be a good idea to get one? I'm just scared of unnecessary radiation accumulating in my body in the throat area. Let me know your thoughts!

@mushroom Yes, I would definitely have an x-ray if that is what your provider advised. I'm not a medical provider but my understanding is that x-rays today do not expose patients to large amount of radiation today, as they once did. (I asked my provider the same question in the past) Would you feel comfortable calling your provider and asking about the level of radiation you would exposed to?
