How to get unstuck?

[skinnyorbust 0]

I recently got stuck, this past weekend. After sliming and salivating, and having 3 PB episodes 10 minutes apart, I finally got unstuck. I was close to panic, as I have not experienced this before, just a few "almost stuck" episodes that went away. I am wondering what I should do when this happens? I have heard that chewing Papaya extract pills helps break down the food, or pinapple juice (a few sips).

I wonder if there is anything else? And, at what point do I need to seek professional help, like at a hospital? When do I know something is really wrong? It was such a scary experience, I need to know what to do next time.

Thanks!

You need professional help if you are unable to get any liquid in. I don't know if there is a guideline for how long but I would say that if after 24 hrs I couldn't get Water down then I would probably be looking for help.

I find sucking ice chips helps.You are swollen after an episode like this and ice helps to reduce swelling.

Thanks Elcee! I also heard lemon juice/meat tenderizer and a sip of soda, the carbonation will help dislodge it. Ice chips afterwards is a good idea. I KNOW I was swollen afterwards. I did not eat solids for 2 days, just liquids. Now I feel drained, weak, some light-headedness, like a hangover ever since then. Also some hot flashes here and there. I do not know what that is about! I am trying to take good Vitamins now to see if that changes how I feel. I wonder if I am low on Iron or something...?
