Question: Can anxiety cause a constant urge to clear your throat.?

So, constantly feeling like you need to clear your throat could certainly be an anxious habit of your's.Health Question & Answer
I'm not sure that it can cause that but it makes you really short of breath and I'd say now that i'm thinking about it it sometimes makes me feel like I can't keep my throat cleared but once its done then i tend to be alright.. not sure if it is apart of anxiety you'd have to ask a doctor..Health Question & Answer
