I have a clicking/popping/grinding feeling in the back of my throat when I swallow. It doesn t happen all the time, but when my head is at a certain position, such as when it s bent down toward my chest. The popping and clicking feeling usually happens when I swallow spit and not typically when I swallow food or liquids. From the research I ve done online it could be linked to GERD or the thyroid rubbing against tissue and vertebrate. I wanted to know what could I do to stop my throat from having that clicking and popping feeling when I swallow.
