I am hoping that someone can can help me. I was rushing to get out of the house this morning and gulped down a bite of chicken. I ate it too fast and did not chew well and was rewarded with a sharp pain in my chest/stomach. Well that was about two hours ago and I just tried to have some eggs. Uh oh! Same pain, also radiating out to my back and I really thought I was going to be sick. I wonder if the chicken is stuck? Is it something else? What do I do? :biggrin:

Isn't that just awful? Don't eat anymore solids until it gets unstuck. Try drinking some acidic juice like pineapple juice to see if it will help break it down. Until then, do liquids only...adding food will only make matters worse.

Yes, it sounds like the chicken is stuck. I've had that happen a few times in the last 5 or 6 weeks. If you have some pineapple juice or canned pineapple, take a sip or two of the juice and wait for a bit and that should help the chicken go down or it will bring it back up. Try not to stress out this will make the pain worse. I've also heard you can take a little bit of meat tenderizer and put it in a spoonful of water and drink it to help the chicken go down but I have not tried that personally since the pineapple juice always works for me. Goodluck, it will pass.

Thank you both. I am sipping juice and hoping for the best!
