Popping/clicking/something rubbing together in throat when swallowing

Hi everyone. I had some of these symptoms and it turned out that I had a nodule on my thyroid and calcification of the nearby lymph nodes in my neck. I would recommend anyone with these symptoms get a neck ultrasound to find out what's going on as cancer is a possibility. Fortunately, it's an easily treatable form (thyroid / local lymph nodes), but definitely get it checked out.

Wow, talk about triggering people on an anxiety forum! Thankfully, it didn't me but only because I recently had a neck ultrasound (3 weeks ago) to follow up on the nodules that I have. My ENT says they're nothing to be concerned with as they have stayed the same and another shrunk. I do have a enlarged thyroid but again nothing to worry over per my Dr. It might explain the symptoms though but I definitely notice it more during anxiety.

Anyway, next time please try not to alarm and throw out the C. word on an HA forum. Ugh! If it wasn't for my recent scan and my doctor's reassurance I'd be in a full blown panic.
