Clicking in adams apple when swallowing

Hi, is your clicking gone?

Did it go away?

I have a fractured hyoid bone caused from years of tmj-severe pain in ears-inflammation-dysphasia-severe vertigo-can only eat soft food-it's a debilitating condition--my hyoid bone was pushed up so far I was unable to eat or to speak is very difficult-very little is known about the hyoid bone.

Hi Justime28, did this ever resolve for you?

I solved this problem:
it just related to your sitting style specially when you use computer ,mobile device or TV, Be careful to keep your neck straight. after several times you use your computer or ... like a turtle neck style your Adams Apple goes clicking when you Swallowing.
change your life style and use computer ergonomics

I have the clicking on the left side and from what I've read so far is the same thing for me. Laying down with my head turned a certain way causes the clicking to stop sitting up and having my head turned a certain way clicking stops. Swallowing saliva food or even drinks the clicking happens what's the fastest at home process to get it to stop cuz I have a grandmother I take care of and don't have the time to go to the doctors??? Plus the last time I went to the doctors they said it was nothing. How mine started was at about 6 or 7 am 4 months ago I was up for about 4 days straight and I started working out doing my normal 100 push-ups after drinking a monster. Please I need this to stop soon my throat hurts like hell and I'm tired of it and it worries me cuz I'm only 23 years old

Yeah one day I felt the same thing and was worried about it. So I made an appointment with a throat specialist. He started to touch the neck area feeling the Adam's apple, but said evrything is in good place. Couple days I went back and they put me in a scanner to see in my neck area. Around four or five days I had my appointment for the results. It came out to be that everything is good. They didn't see anything bad. So then I was wondering what it just might be if it isn't anything serious.

I have the same thing. Did the doctor give any explanations as to why it would click?

This is exactly good I would describe the popping sensation in throat / adam's apple..

It seems to be tiny trapped air bubbles in my throat causing it.. When the popping comes back I find if I burp it goes away again.

Would you have any more information on this?

I also have acid reflux and am on medication for this, I think it may be linked

Thanks for this info! I have been having this clicking strange sound and actual feel of my throat for about a year now. It is very annoying, because i am constantly swallowing, i also have the burping in my throat silent ones. I was told i had LPR but given no real reason about the throat symptoms. I started drinking special throat teas with Manuka Honey UMF 20. And gargling and swallowing Aloe Vera Jiuce. Changed my diet. limited my wine. But the throat has not changed. It feels weak. And i am beginning to think it is definitely due to my thyroid muscle & adams apple rubbing together.... Not caused from Reflux. I am going to get futher tests as this is becoming a real problem too. When i lift my chin up the clicking goes away.. Can't go around all day like that though. It is good to hear i am not alone the tightness in the throat is horrible also. Wishing Everyone the Answers we all need & better health!! KB

Hi everybody. Back with some news and answers. I would advise everyone that did not discover yet any medical problem (you've been already to an ENT, done a MRI or CT to exclude all other possibilities) try to check for TMJ (temporomandibular joint disorder). I started using a mouthguard ( i think this it's called in english ) to relax my neck muscles. I will not say that it disappeared completely but after two weeks of wearing it, did wonders :)
Moreover, i have a big deficiency of Vitamin D (just found out) which has impact on bones, muscles etc. so it might be connected to.

This was my post, i forgot to log in :)

Hi. Just tonight--- one swallow and I was fine, but the next--- *pop*. I feel a weird popping that feels to be coming from the top of my Adams apple. I got really freaked out and kept swallowing just to make sure it wasn't a one-time-thing. I kept swallowing until I ran out of saliva, I then went to the bathroom to get a drink of water. I find that the popping only happens when I swallow my own spit, and seems to only occur when I am looking forward. This has only been a problem to me for about an hour now, but after reading some posts on this website I fear this is not the end of it. I am 15 years of age and have a long(er) neck. If anyone knows how to stop this issue while it is still in it's early stages, please let me know!

It's bizarre for sure. Mine came on just like yours. It's been 6 weeks now - off and on. ENT stumped. You are young and I'm sure it's not anything serious, but always get things checked by a professional. Give it time and try not to over-swallow. Easier said than done, I know.

Hello all ... I am a 34 year old female with the thud/pop or click on the left side of my throat. I developed this issue July 2015 after a trip to the Oregon coast. I remember waking up ... making coffee and when I swallowed it clicked. I then developed a fever and was veryyyy fatigued , weak and high anxiety. I could barely eat due to the new sensation and the feeling of my swallowing getting stuck. I also developed a bloating sensation or a full sensation in my upper intestines on the left side which made it hard for me to have an appetite. Before our family trip and had participated in a health and fitness challenge .. the goal was to reach 16% BF in 3 months. My result was 17% but I felt healthy and great. However I did notice how much muscle I lost from too much cardio and not enough food intake but I gradually reintroduced back into my diet. Anyhow I was really sick for a month and a half with lethargy , insomnia, pain in throat etc. once I was regaining my energy I began to do a ton of research on what the heck this is. I never had neck and should pain the way I do now - the ache, tightness and decrease in motion can be really annoying at times. However.. I've seen an Ent who did the camera up my nose and he said everything looked normal and that it was crepitus. I did not believe this to be true. I ended up having my husband take me to the hospital one morning due to the pain I was experiencing in my upper left abdomen ... they did a full body scan and blood work and told me everything looked normal - sent me home with anxiety meds for sleep and told me to follow up with my doc. I became pretty hopeless at times but I could not give up... after six months of hell I began to gain weight back and my appetite. My energy levels began to slowly climb and my anxiety was less and less. As of today I have had the full body MRI, the camera in nose, an ultrasound on my glands under jaw and of my thyroid which all came back normal. I've seen chiro and do shulman therapy and have also visited a physical therapist who did an MRI on my spine. They found a slight buldge with slight stenosis is my c1 c2 in neck but no other significant findings accept a weird Tarlov cyst at the base of my spine under the spinal fluid. He did however mention that he saw some inflammation or fluid under my chin close to the salivary glands but did not know what it was. He stated it may be a normal thing but suggested to have an ENT look at it. I am now in the process of sending those records to a new ENT I found who also suggested a Ct scan of the pharyngeal area. This is set for July 19. I have seen a hormone doc for the last year due to developing cystic acne and my low energy- her first finding with blood test was high antibodies and low vitamin D level. I also have the MFHRT gene. The ongoing blood draws have been in normal range for thyroid and autoimmune diseases sense. In the past I sometimes struggled with my swallow getting stuck and choked on food but I don't believe this is the cause. I thought maybe I damaged ligaments or tissue when swallowing but I don't think so. Listen to your body and your gut instincts - this is something not yet known in the practicing fields. A few mentions- back in 2014-2015 I had my neck adjusted for the very first time 3 times. The first two times was before the whole throats thing started the 3rd was right after to see if that was the culprit but it did not work. Last week I visited my chiro but had a different guy who did not realize I don't like my neck adjusted... he adjusted it and I immediately had soreness, ache and more tightness than what I had before in my neck and shoulders. Have any of you done the same with same experience? I was diagnosed with TMD years ago I too have jaw ache and clench a ton. I am wondering if it may be caused some how by the slight buldge in my neck and it's pulling things out of alignment ... but there is no correlation with my other symptoms that developed at the same time. My click area is the left side right where the chin skin meets the throat close to where they check your pulse. I though maybe I was developing hashi but my body fought it off or maybe a thyroid storm but my thyroid was inflamed etc. all I know is I'm not letting this go... yes I've learned to manage the anxiety , been to counseling , church etc but I also will not stop until I find the cause. Before all of this ... I felt happy now it's difficult to go a day without thinking or feeling the click thud or pop. It's almost every swallow but when I put my head back it is not present or at least I cannot feel it!! I'm a mother to two teenagers now and trying to keep it all together is trying for sure!!! I played around with different swallows and I find when I swallow more with my tongue up the clicking does not happen! Odd aye! Anyhow please keep sharing findings, experience, thoughts... they are helpful :) oh I do not suffer from GERD or Acid Reflux etc

Thanks fellow throat clickers

Keep you posted
