Windows 10: My mouse is not clicking normally.

This started happening a few days ago, when i click my middle mouse button to scroll ( I click it instead of scrolling because am more comfortable with it) my mouse starts glitching, i have to double click on EVERY SINGLE THING, some times i even have to click 3 or 4 times for it to work, and this mouse isn't even old, i got it a few months ago. and tried to stop clicking the middle mouse button, but am too used to it and i click it accidently, making it so i have to restart to work normally again. And when i try scrolling normally its very bad, it scrolls slow or goes up by itself. This is very annoying when am drawing or working.
