Throat Clearing habit

[DaveCH]

Anyone had tight throat and needing to clear there throat all the time and voice sometimes breaking when talking and you need to clear your throat to speak clearly. Fed up with this crap. Also can throat clearing become an anxiety habit also.

yup, I get this. I think it's related to my GERD but I hope it's related to anxiety.

Last night for example I was relaxed watching a movie and I didn't notice it and when I go to bed it doesn't wake me up at all which makes me think its anxiety.

When i read your thread title I suddenly had to clear my throat. :roflmao:

Yes I have it too. I think its caused by anxiety rather than GERD.

Everything tenses up and throat muscles go into spasm, making you think you have a lump/frog in the throat. So you clear your throat constantly and then that makes it a bit inflamed - so you clear your throat, etc, etc, etc

It's one of the most common anxiety symptoms . Horrible.
