Feeling very uncomfortable

Today at breakfast I'm pretty sure by me rushing and all while trying to get the kids off to school on time I think I swallowed too much food and now it feels like something is stuck in my throat and it's very uncomfortable. I called the doc & she told me to drink liquids for the remainder of the day & to also drink hot tea. I am on pureed foods now & I think it was the grits. But I would really like to know if you guys have experienced that before and what did you all do? Because all of this happened around 9am this morning & I'm still feeling a little uncomfortable.

Yes I had this happen to me once - it was after having chicken early in my "soft food" stage. I think I did not chew it enough and a piece got stuck. I threw up several times during the night and if I drank Water, I "overflowed" and threw it up again. It's very scary and unpleasant - I'm so sorry this has happened to you.

Everything resolved on its own so I hope that's what's happening with you. After I threw up during the night, I managed to get back to sleep. I still felt nauseous and very uncomfortable the next day and only drank water - but this time small sips stayed down. By evening I tried a little scrambled egg and found the blockage had moved. I was afraid I'd have to go the hospital if it didn't move. Good luck - let us know if everything is OK.

Thank you for your feedback Janette. I was afraid that if nothing changed by the morning that I would have to go to the hospital myself. But everything is back to normal and from now on I WILL make sure to take smaller bites. Lol! I'm glad you got through yours as well. Thanks again! :-)

Just ate and didn't chew well enough, and I am having the stuck issue too. This is my third time ever that it has happened to me. Once on just a small bite of crab meat, once on a large bite of what seemed to be too dry of chicken, and now on a taco which I took two bites and didn't chew well enough because I was rushing. Ugh I wish I could puke it hurts so bad, making my mouth salivate. It's a waiting game. Oh and I haven't eaten those items again, just because the discomfort I felt is so bad I am put off. Even though two of the three times for sure were my fault...and could probably be avoided if I chew better. I think they traumatized me. Lol. So glad you have found relief!!
