What causes Clicking or Popping in Throat when Swallowing?

Hi everyone, I just started with the clicking sensation on my left side of my throat. It goes away when I look up, eat or drink or when I look to the right side. It is frustrating because one day you wake up with this sensation, and anxiety wants to creep in and all you want to do is swallow. I'm have an appt. to go see the ENT in April. Hopefully it's nothing serious. Everytime I feel it I thank God I have a throat where I can swallow, speak, eat etc. Take deep breathes, and try to maintain calm making yourself worry will make the sensation even worse because everything becomes tense.
Psalm 103:1-5

Relaxing helps a lot, as does finding a position to swallow in which the clicking will not occur. This will help you reduce the amount of worry and attention you give to it. Seeing yourself in the mirror while swallowing and practicing also helps, and amen to Psalm 103:1-5. My sickness has brought me closer to my Lord Jesus. Before, I was lost in sin and forgot about my spiritual life, but now every swallow reminds me of Jesus' call.
Matthew 6:27 Worrying will not solve anything; instead, focus on your faith and trust in God to provide.
