Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thanks for your query. You have mentioned that you have had an evaluation twice and was told that your throat and mouth were normal. As regards the MRI, not getting your results doesn't mean anything good or bad - so, please check with your doctor regarding your MRI results. If your MRI is also normal, then it is likely that anxiety is the underlying cause for your symptoms. It is important to understand that anxiety can manifest itself with not only psychological symptoms, but with physical symptoms also. In such a case, you may need to consult a psychiatrist for a detailed psychological assessment and further treatment. There are effective treatment options - in the form of medication or counselling / psychotherapy which will help you overcome your problems.  Wish you all the best.
