What causes Clicking or Popping in Throat when Swallowing?
Ear, Nose & Throat (ENT) | Last Active: 5 days ago | Replies (334)Comment receiving replies
I've started experiencing a clicking on the top of my throat about 2 weeks ago. I was sitting at my desk and leaned on my hand sitting upright push neck and felt a little pop. After that the clicking started. It went away after a few days. I went to concert and jumped around for a while and it started back and hasn't gone away yet. It seems it really happen when I'm looking straight down or down to the left. When it happens when I'm looking forward it doesn't feel as intense. Curious if anyone can point me in the right direction of some sort of treatment. I should also add before all this started I had about 7 or 8 days of some of the worst anxiety I've experienced.

I've got the same issue. When swallowing solids, one tends to slightly tuck their chin, that's when it is the most intense for me. It also occurs when I have to swallow something that is difficult to swallow, especially a large mouth full of food that requires multiple swallows. My click is bilateral. It occurs on both sides, up to the point that my whole hyoid clicks out. Unfortunately I have been stigmatized by my patient file. I'm from the Netherlands and practitioners tend to keep a patient file. I've switched practioners because up till now they've all viewed my problem as "psychogenic" because of my patient file. No one takes me seriously. My life is in ruins.
