Otolaryngologist: I recommend consulting an otolaryngologist for thorough throat & swallowing evaluation. You may have laryngopharangeal reflux. If no abnormalities are found anxiety & tension may be the cause of your symptom. If so, stress management therapy should be helpful. Discuss this with your MD.
