I have strange gurgling in my throat HELP

I have this stange gurling in my throat. Its starting to kinda scare me, i have looked at other questions like mine; but never found an answer to my question. The strange gurgling is in my throat/chest. I feel no pain when it happens. Its happens about every 3-5 minutes. I am 10 yrs old turning 11 in one week. Its starting to interfear with my life, i don't want to see my friends because they are all like 'what is that gurgling" or "you need to see a doctor",, I'm starting to feel like i'm a freak. This happens weather or not i eat and drink. My mom says i don't need to see a doctor, but I disagree. Sometimes i feel like someone is pushing on my chest and it gets hard to breathe for a second, but then i'm fine, does this have to do anything with the gurgling? I'm putting this in the "Ear, Nose, Throat" section, sorry if i should have put it in another topic section. Should i see a doctor, could this be seirous? Please help!

I've had problems with squeezing sound from my throat. Is that something like what you have. I have had terrible pain in my throat as well, but no fever or any other "medical indications".

I realized the squeezing sound come becaus I swallow too much air, because my eustachian tubes are clogged with something (most likely something non-organic, otherwise it would have started fever, pain and such in my ears, I guess).

Try using a neti-pot. DON'T try to push water hard into your eustachian tubes. You may develope tinnitus and terrible headache - as I have. (I think it's called Barotrauma).

If you succed by this - that the burping goes away, you're one step closer to  the reason. My understanding is tha air should elevate to eustachian tubes and middle-ears while swallowing.

The worst is swallowing spit, because then it's most air in the mouth, compared to swalloing mouthfuls of food or drink.

I'd really like to hear from you, if this works.
