I have been with the same thing for 2 month, the click started one day at a dinner, on my sofa eating my legumes and vegetables, I am an athletic and healthy person, but this triggered a state of mental stress to the point of not wanting to eat so as not to feel the famous click . The first days my throat muscles hurt, I felt as if I had a tight shirt around my neck and also when I ate I felt something that was stuck there and would not go down. I didn't want to use google, because everything always points to cancer, which is very close to me and because my mother is suffering from this disease and precisely of the larynx. For a week I felt really depressed, my life had no meaning, I have a beautiful wife and an adorable 4 year old son, they are my life but all this got over me. A month later I went for help, the ENT doctor put a camera up to my vocal cords, he only found reflux. (I have dinner and go to sleep after 15 minutes) I've been taking medicines for 2 weeks and changing my diet, the medicine are protons that suppress excess gastric juices, but everything remains the same, luckily I don't feel the click every time I swallow, only when I have my jaw pointing down or when I eat something very dry. What I have found in common in several comments is: Anxiety, Reflux and there I read about a dental abscess, which I have. These days I am more relaxed and I have felt the click less, but unfortunately every time I swallow saliva I am very overconscious and it makes me sick. I hope we can all work it out.

Hi @paoloremedy1982, Welcome to Connect. You mentioned you went to an ENT doctor and they put a camera up to your vocal chords and only found reflux. @hopeful33250 mentioned a swallowing study reference a Mayo Clinic page here - https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/dysphagia/diagnosis-treatment/drc-20372033

Have you had a swallowing study before to see if they can tell what the problem is?
