Hard Time Swallowing 2 Months Post Op

[Jenelle1434 9]

I have yet to have a "stuck" incident, but I do find that certain food get stuck in my throat when I swallow... almost like my throat has narrowed or something?!?! I almost feel like I cant breathe while its trying to go down. This does not happen all the time, but enough to where I am worried. I am about 7 weeks post op with 2 fills, the last being 2 days ago. Anyone else have similar issues....?

I have had that happen a few times. It was scarey, you can't breath or swallow. I sort of narrowed it down to over eating. I think it happens when I a full (or too full is perhaps the correct term ) did you notice it was towards the end of your meal?

No, it's always within the first couple bites that it happens. Usually I stop eating after it happens....

ya, i never quite figured it out but when ever it happened to me I had been eating for a while. Not sure what causes it but it is freeky!

i've been feeling a tightness in my throat for about the past two weeks...it started when i got sick with a cold and was having trouble swallowing thick phlegm...i still have a bit of a cold but my throat feels tight and i am beginning to think it is not related to the cold...i have also had two fills and cancelled my third due to this feeling...i have had three stuck episodes all totally my fault...but this tightness is irritating...no trouble breathing, but swallowing definitely feels weird and this is even when i'm not eating...

That was happening to me in the mornings after I had a cold or it may have just been post nasal drip from during the night. I would take a teaspoon of Mucinex and that seemed to help me. Hope you feel better soon.
