Question 1

i felt pressure in my throat and pressed down on it slightly with my fingers. i heard a crackling sound and my adams apple moved.. what happened?

Accepted Answer

Thyroid cartilage: Your trachea (windpipe) and your adam's apple (laryngeal prominence of the thyroid cartilage) have some amount of movement normally. Generally not a problem.

Question 2

hi i seem to have a problem with my throat when i move my adams apple down it makes a clicking sound. and when swallowing saliva it also makes the clicking sound?

Accepted Answer

: Larynx or voice box is part of the respiratory system made of cartilages in the neck. The Adams apple is formed at the converging of the laryngeal cartilages along the midline. Mild weakness of the cartilage/ mild problems in the articulation of cartilages could have caused the noise. As long as breathing, speaking and  eating  are  not affected no major issues. Consult ENT doctor for laryngoscopy

Question 3

Accepted Answer

Orthopedic: this sounds like something affecting your cervical spine. Recommend an orthopedic consult (someone with special interest on the spine).

Question 4

what could cause a constant feeling of fullness+slight pressure 1in to right of adams apple for longer than 3 months? strep throat test negative. ty!

Accepted Answer

Neck fullness: Fullness and pressure in the neck/ throat can be from an external factor an enlarged lymph node or cyst pushing on a neck structure, or from thickened secretions accumulating at the level of the adam's apple/voice box.
See an ear nose and throat specialist for a thorough head and neck exam, including a direct look at the voice box.

Question 8

frm lst 3 mnths a strange click in the throat wen adams apple moves up down.3 ent says nthng in throat. was an ex smoker so worried?

Accepted Answer

Normal Exam Finding: This sensation is felt more than heard. It is a normal finding. I just did it on myself and my husband. If it doesn't make a click, it is a negative sign requiring more investigation. It is not a pleasant feeling however to grab one's Adam's Apple (Laryngeal Cartilage) and move it up and down or from side to side. Since yours is normal, I advise to you discontinue this procedure. Be well.

Question 9

a click in throat when i swallow salaiva.when my adams apple moves up & down a click happens.went to 3 ent but says nothing wrong.what it is & remedie?

Accepted Answer

Nothing wrong : This may be what is called a "globus" sensation or could be related to your stated history of acid reflux. The globus sensation is generally associated with anxiety. And the more you worry about it, the more noticeable the sensation. This does not mean it's your fault or that it's all in your head. It speaks to the powerful relationship between mind and body. There are many ways to work with this.

Question 10

i have a small hard round lump in front of neck. could it just be my adams apple? i am a female. also it moves up and down when i swallow

Accepted Answer

Lump: Check in with your doctor. Lump in your neck could be your thyroid or a lymph node.
