First of all, my ears pop all the time. I used to not notice it as much if I was busy.... mostly at night when I layed down, but now it s all the time...it s like I am in the mountains all the time. They pop and I have to move my jaw to pop them continually. No other symptoms. No drainage, no nothing. This has been for about 6-8 months now but only the last two weeks have been constant. Also, my throat locks up... (the only way I know to describe) at times, I can t swallow. then I start to panic and my body goes into panic mode. Ive learned how to calm myself, breathe through it, and if I can get a sip of water orsomething, I can overpower it and then im okay as long as I stay relaxed. usually about half an hour. I can t sing, yell, or reach the same pitch I used to and sometimes feels like a lump in my throat. used to think maybe I had nodes, or some kind of swelling in my throat...but the last two weeks its gotten a lot worse. Just wondering if they are related?? Don t have insurance and very nervous
