Click when swallowing

[blk133]

Hello,

I was wondering if someone could help me.  For a few weeks now I have this click in my throat when I swallow.  Not when I am drinking water or eating, but just during normal swallowing.  It doesn't click when my head is down or up, but it clicks when I am looking straight.  If I put my fingers just above adams apple I can feel a click.

Please help me to identify what it could be.

Thank you,
B

Curious how everyone is doing on this "clicking throat" thread ... I have same issue - 6 weeks now - ENT stumped and made me feel like I was crazy.  Anyone have it go away ? Get any real answers ?

I am 36 yr old female
I too have experienced this for the first time a few months ago. I saw an ENT and they told me that as we get older this can happen. In addition He mentioned if you suffer from neck pain, which I do, that it can cause it.  He also said sometimes our cartilage presses a certain way and this can happen. he examined and felt my neck and looked at my vocal cord with that camera and hose up my nose.. surprising it didn't hurt.  He had me say Hee; and he said everything looked and felt fine. I did find out I have a slight deviated septum and rhinitis.

I am super glad to have found this because I am having a similar problem and was wondering if you have figured this out yet?  I am a female and its very similar to your situation but with a few differences.

I am a 34 year old female and about 9 months ago experienced a "clicking" in my throat.  It only happened once or twice at first when I swallowed and I was not eating or drinking.  It didn't hurt either.  It was lower in the throat and more to my left side.  If I pushed on my throat I could actually feel the click but no lumps or anything.  By this time however it now happens atleast 7 out of 10 times I swallow and this includes eating/drinking or not.  Again, it doesn't hurt per se but by the end of the day if it has happened many times it becomes a little sore akin to a sore muscle.  I also recently noticed that when I would sing ad hit higher notes it would click.  This is now happening every time I sing and go up in pitch.  This led me to the thinking that it could be nodules but I have no other symptoms.  I don't put my vocal cords through any kind of abuse.  I don't sing all the time which is why I didn't notice that till recently (I was singing along to the radio..he!)

Well, I have never posted anything on the internet before (I don't even do facebook or anything) so this was just an attempt to get someone's opinion before I have to go to the doctor for this  Its difficult for me to go the doctor for this because I have other health issues that take up all of my time, money and affect y mobility so I was hoping to get an idea how serious this might be before I make a costly appointment.
