I have the same problem. I think it is because of Parkinson's. I never had it before! I lose my voice and have hoarseness. After I eat or drink anything even water. Talking for very long I lose my voice completely.

Yes, hoarseness and the need to frequently clear the throat can be symptoms of Parkinson's disease. Parkinson's affects the nervous system, leading to problems with the nerves and muscles used for speech and swallowing. This can result in a quiet speaking voice, monotone voice, stuttering, stammering, mumbling, and slurring words. Swallowing difficulties can also cause frequent throat clearing.
