When i talk, sometimes my throat "catches." feels like the (skin?) in the back of my throat gets caught in airway. have apnea, too. what is going on?

Unusual symptom: I would consider having an ENT doc look down your throat to make sure you don't have an anatomic abnormality of your upper airway or larynx. This is probably not related to the apnea.
