I have my first blockage from a piece of beef in a stir fry.

I feel discomfort in my chest.

And, I'm throwing up any fluids that goes down, ie Water or spit.

Please help, any suggestions what should I do?

our doc says that grapefruit juice helps

Hi, I'm past the problem.

It came up on its own after about 45 minutes of terrible discomfort and throwing up.

My throw ups were just liquid ( Water, no stomach fluid) from my efforts to wash it through.

Eventually, I threw up for real. When that happened, the blockage was gone.

It's time to really increase my effort to prevent this in the future. I have to learn to chew more, and take smaller bites.

Tyler, also try the downward dog position. It is a yoga move. Start on your knees and go up into the position and hold for a minute or so. Then if you do not feel relief, try it one more time. If worst comes to worst, a hot shower sometimes loosens my back muscles so that the horrible pain goes away. I let the hot water run on my back, and on my stomach (where the band is) and sometimes that heat releases a bit of pressure. HTH!
