What causes Clicking or Popping in Throat when Swallowing?

Hello I am from India and I am 21. I heard this clicking noise when I was eating 4-5 days ago for the first time and from then I was super focused on it .I hear the click only when I am facing straight forward without bending my neck and i can't hear when I am facing sidewise(left or right).And I can hear only when I swallow my saliva ,I can't hear it when iam eating it or drinking water.I am feeling super anxious and every time I want to swallow my saliva .Do any one got any solution? Or do anyone have the same issue? Iam going to consult ENT after two days.

I’ve had this exact issue for the past 3 years. It’s accompanied by other symptoms primarily flushed/overheated feeling in the face, headaches, and brain fog/exhaustion. It’s comes and goes throughout the day and from day to day. Things I’ve done: 2x MRI with and without contrast, ultrasound, CT, hundreds of blood work-ups (everything normal except elevated liver enzymes), tonsillectomy, 3x nasal scope, GI scope, barium swallow, Synthroid to move TSH levels, 6 months of strict elimination diet (no dairy, gluten, starches, coffee, alcohol, sugar, etc.) plus chiropractic, micro current, dry needling, and acupuncture.

Anyone else have other symptoms that accompany the severity of the clicking/popping?

Hi,I've been suffering from clicking larynx syndrome since 14 years! It used to be less frequent but this year it is getting worse & louder specially at rest. I used to think that this palpitations in my neck is related to the heart & aorta. I spent the past 5 years visiting cardiologists in different countries with no luck! They just assured me that since it is happening for years now & I'm still alive so I don't have to worry. I cannot sleep from the popping noise with the echo in my throat & ears. Seriously im thinking about the surgery. Any thoughts?

explain your clicking is it when swallowing and where is the exact location ?
how come you cant sleep ? i get peace when i sleep cause we do swallowing less frequently and with out knowing it

I will try to keep this short but informative. We had a cold run through our house a couple weeks ago. Typical congestion, light coughing etc. I remember my throat being very dry and plenty of post nasal drip from the sickness but didn’t really feel that bad, none of us did. With my throat being really dry I remember swallowing constantly. During that swallowing a popping in my throat appeared. At least that’s when I remember myself noticing the popping.

The popping is at the top of my swallow. At my Adam’s apple/below my chin. It feels like a cartilage or tendon pop. It only occurs while looking straight ahead. Left, right, up or down results in no pop. I also feel no pop while eating or drinking. I have no pain and no trouble breathing or swallowing. I don’t recall any “trauma” to my throat but who knows when you wrestle a 4 and two year old all day.

I did got to my general practitioner a he said it does seem odd but doesn’t feel it’s something to worry over. He recommended me to an ENT to talk to an expert.

This is going on for two weeks now and my anxiety is through the roof thinking I have throat cancer and I can’t seem to convince myself otherwise. I guess I’m just a fatalist. Just turning to the mayo community for some help. Please and thank you.
