Thraot Clearing.

Post Reply New Topic

I was wondering if any one else constantly clears their throat.

I do. Sometimes I can't even finish my sentence and have to clear it xD.
EMZ=]

Used to for years, I now am NEVER seen without some sort of drink on hand....it helps the problem tremendously.

i so thought clearing sometimes.its not when i am taling.
yoday i was sitting with my classmate in outdoor campus.we both were quiet and i was enjoying the nature.but i kept clearing throat over and over agian.i ws annoyed by this.

I did this for a year or two when I was a kid. It bugged everyone else and even started to bug me. Then I realised it was simply a habit I'd formed and that I could cough or swallow instead of clear my throat and it would have the same effect. So I did that instead and that seemed to stop the habit.

I do it all the time. It always feels like there's something in my throat or lungs. When I have something to drink though I don't do it as much.

Helps every problem tremendously - cheers!

Ahem.

Who said that!?

I clear my throat a lot. I constantly feel like my throat is obstructed so have to clear it before speaking. I can do it silently but it's not as effective.

It is more associated with ADHD. That said, I have had this problem since I was a child, and it rarely goes away for any length of time. However, I do have problems with focus and attention, and my energy levels seem to be almost childlike. Avoiding dairy proteins seems to help. This is not necessarily related to the casein/gluten theory, which I understand many to be highly skeptical of. It's whey proteins. They are used to synthesize mucus.

Yes, I cough a lot. It was worse when I was a teenager and my allergies were worse. Even now I suspect that this problem ranks near the top of the things holding me back socially. It sucks! Why can't my respiratory system be normal like everyone else's?

I try not to do it too much around other people, and do clearing, blowing my nose etc. in the restroom. Exercise also helps, even though I usually cough more for a short while after running. Coughing is a necessary clearing mechanism to keep the lungs from filling up with dust and mucus, but could it also be a sensory issue?

clearing your throat is very normal for those with OCD and Tourettes, its a way of stimming, or calming yourself during those most stressful moments, also if you have tourettes and are doing its hell lol. I had a throat clearing tic for a bit, also a coughing tic, shoot me now, my poor throat was prob saying wtf is going on up inside ur brain, STOP CLEARING me lol.

I dotn have OCD or TS that I am aware of.

I do kind of notice mid-sentence sometimes it gets caught in my throat and I have to clear it to continue.

Ha! That's my excuse, and I'm sticking to it!

you dont have to have tourettes or full blown ocd, but throat clearing is usually most common with those diagnosis's. A lot of people on the spectrum though seem to have some type of OCD, even if its mild. Either way hope u find a remedy for it, so it doesnt bother ur throat, unless u dont mind it, then in that case welcome to weird stims hahaha.
