Help!! Food Stuck And I Am Terrified

Hello,

This morning I ate some chicken and I felt like it did not go down properly

I went for a walk, and it felt like something was stuck in my throat.

I have been traveling all day on various planes and I am finally home and I still feel like something is in my throat yet I had dinner, Snacks and drinks since then. I am terrified to sleep and I need some pointers please help ASAP

  • If you are able to eat and drink then you do not have a blockage. If you have a blockage then NOTHING goes down. You are not likely to choke in your sleep. It is possible if you have bad reflux that

Stupid question - but Anatomy was never my strong subject in school...but if you get stuck...can you still breath?

Not stupid at all, yes you can breath. The pain sits in the middle of your stomach and it feels like someone gut punched you over, over and over.

I thought the same thing! Trust me after this episode' date=' I am gonna have a nice long talk with my surgeon. I am still on liquids even though the pain has passed. I'm too afraid to eat meat right now, maybe in a few days.[/quote']

Yes, I made the mistake to start eating right away after my last episode and let's just say , big mistake, big mistake....I started hurting again but the pain was not has bad.then the swelling kicked in .....so me to for liquids.

When you choke you can't breath as the blockage is in the pipe that carries both air and food. When you get stuck the blockage occurs at your stoma which is at the top of your stomach, it is much lower.
