    hi. if you mean a clicking sound from the back of the throat when laying in bed at night then yes I have had that (thought it was just me being a little weird!! lol) it dose not happen all of the time but I had a few weeks where it happened every night.

      I have it while lying down as well. I think it is because your tongue is in a different position and when you breathe and swallow it moves off the roof of your mouth and makes a click sound. Same here...it doesn't happen all the time.

      your right Pamwhid, I notice when I think about these aches and pains I feel worse . I try to keep myself busy so I'm not constantly worrying about what it could be. hope you feel better soon !! God bless you.

    now the clicking noise is constant because that is all i can think about my throat feels tense and my ears are ringing. nothing bothers me when i eat or drink or swallow and when i talk. my anxiety is through the roof because i think something is wrong wrong with my throat. the clicking is on the sides of my adams apple. 2 days ago i was fine and fine up to that point. this past period was so light, and i have all the other 66 symptoms of menopause

    Pam, are you sure it’s in your throat and not from the jaws, feeling like it’s coming from the throat ? we were just talking about TMJ, do you possibly have that?
