Throat clicking

[DaveCH]

Hi all I have had constant throat clearing for about 8 weeks but I'm pretty sure it's anxiety. However sometimes I get a clicking on the left hand side at the top above my Adam's apple when I swallow. It seems worse in the morning and I'm wondering does anyone suffer this. Could this be tense muscles etc as I have now become obsessed with my swallowing. It seems to happen when I do a hard swallow. I can still swallow fine but just wondering is this a side effect of stress and anxiety ? I may add it isn't all the time

Hi Dave

I am not a 100% sure I understand what you are talking about but I do know that when my HA is bad it makes my symptons 100 times worse.

in November I had glandular fever.. I prodded and prodded at every flaming gland in and around my face and neck and sure enough they gotr bigger and hurt 10x more! I also started clenching my teeth a whole lot more than normal and that certainly gave me muscle ache and I felt like my jaw was clicking loads.

Im pretty sure that our HA can exaggerate all our worrys

hope you feel better soon

Globus pharyngis (also known as globus sensation, globus or, somewhat outdatedly, globus hystericus, commonly referred to as having a "lump in one's throat"), is the persistent sensation of having phlegm (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phlegm), a pill or some other sort of obstruction in the throat (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Throat) when there is none. Swallowing can be performed normally, so it is not a true case of dysphagia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dysphagia), but it can become quite irritating. One may also feel mild chest pain or even severe pain with a clicking sensation when swallowing
