Clicking noise while I sleep

I have been suffering from clicking  since 2005. I don't know what causes it or how to stop it. I usually don't hear it myself, but my boyfriend used to wake me up to blame me for clicking just about every night, sometimes several times a night. When I do hear it, it seems like sometimes the clicking comes from the throat, other times it's my tongue making noise, or I feel a popping feeling in my nose. I am desperate for a solution. It has caused irreparable problems in my 14 year relationship. My boyfriend not only believes that I am awake most of the time when the clicking occurs, but that I'm doing it on purpose. He says hearing the clicking causes him physical pain. This clicking has ruined my life. Because of this I try to sleep as little as possible. I have spent hondreds of euros on medicine, ear, nose and throat doctors and a sleep clinic. I tried a neti pot, nose sprays, vapo-rub, apple cider vinegar and ginger, but none of this helped. I have minor hayfever allergies and type 1 diabetes. If so many people are suffering from this clicking condition, there must be a solution. If you have found an effective way to stop or minimize this clicking please post it on this topic.

The grinding of teeth is because of worms infection in stomach.

clicking sound may be sleep apnea - I too need to know what it is

I have this problem also! But I only notice it when I take my pain meds. It never happens any other time. So weird. I also clench my teeth in my sleep which causes me to have awful migraines. Which I sometimes have to take pain meds for. lol. Vicious cycle.

I also have this clicking sound happen while im falling asleep sometimes. it happens on exhale and it feels like the flap in the back of my throat has something to do with it.?i think i am having problems with my Epiglottis. here are a few other symptoms i think is related to this,and let me know please if u have these symptoms also.

i had my tonsels removed(in kindergarten)im 37 now.

i am able to growl or make a robot like voice

if i drink liquid too fast or try to take too big of a gulf it feels like the flap in the back of my throat CLICKS or get stuck open or closed

this 2013 winter,the flap in the back of my throat malfunctioned and i could barley swallow,air,food,and or liquids.

I found out from my daughter that I make a clicking sound when I sleep, I think when I exhale. She recorded it and it does sound strange. Very often during the day I feel like I have a film in the back top part of my throat, like between throat and nasal area. Clearing my throat doesn't help. I think the clicking at night is related to this. I wish I knew what to do about it.

I also have this problem with my husband and it drives me mad as it gives me endless sleepless nights. I recently discovered that a friend of mine also has the same problem. She was referred to an ENT Consultant who told her it was acid reflux and prescribed strong antacid tablets. As an experiment I got my husband to try rennie tablets and it definitely helps! Worth a try.

My mother has this clicking voice. i've heard it all my life and still hear it when i stay at hers. The funny thing is that i went to sleep yeasterday and my baby daughter was doing it. can it be hereditary? I changed her sleeping position and the clicking was gone...  

My boyfriend has had this for as long as I can remember. He wakes me up numerous times during the night. I wake him and he shifts around but it's not long until the clicking begins again. His clicking gets so loud I get angry and I yell at him then he gets very little sleep during the night because I am constantly waking him to stop clicking. I am currently in the living room and I can still hear him clicking in the bedroom.

I thought about getting him a mouth guard but I never thought it would work. Maybe I'll tell him to give it a try.

I am desperately trying to get this resolved so we can both get a better sleep.

I click in my sleep and it drives my husband crazy! And for as long as I can remember my Mother did it. :) possibly it could be hereditary?

I noticed that there are several different types of problems being described here. Some are describing the back of the throat clicks, some are describing like a tongue clucking sound, and some are even talking about teeth grinding. These are all different things and probably totally unrelated to each other. I'm here because of the clicking noise that comes from the back of my throat when i exhale while i'm trying to sleep. Often it is a series of clicks, but some times it's like a whistling wind sound and sometimes it sounds like an animal dying in the distance. It is partially mucus related because if i clear my throat it goes away for a short time and then returns when more mucus arrives. It also must be throat flap related, presumably because i have throat flap problems due to my GERD. I only noticed this recently. But it is also familiar so i think for me it comes and goes. it would be nice to find out how to get rid of it as it makes it hard to sleep when it is occurring. Two remedies I've read here that sound promising are the saline nasal spray, and the apple cider vinigar shot. Drinking water doesn't seem to help as I drink plenty so i'm never really dehydrated. I find i have to clear my throat a lot, even during the day. My wife only notices sometimes, or at least she only lets me know that she notices sometimes. It could be due to an irritated throat, creating mucus to protect itself. Anyway, I don't know, that's why I ended up here, looking for answers.

Hi ive had this for a few years now every position .. i lay on my back and turn my head to the left and this stops it .. i believe it to be damage caused by alcohol . I have also been told that its because i had hooping cough as a kid and the coughing has damaged the skin inside my throat . Also i smoke . Its so annoying to my partner

My wife has had this for years. Read this entire forum and no real solutions? Really?

This is happening to me as well. When I exhale especially lying down I can hear clicking sound from back of my throat. It's driving me crazy! It started to get worse after I got flu. And it just doenst seem to go away. I've went to doctors but they couldn't help. They thought I have polyps on my nose but I've used the nasal spray for over a month and it didn't help at all. Also, I had jaw (TMJ) problems as a kid not too sure if there is any correlation. I hope someone can help us out here.
