Are you getting food stuck at the top of your throat or chest? It feels like your esophagus has collapsed and you can't even swallow the saliva in your mouth. What happens is your lower esophagus muscle or sphincter muscle doesn't relax properly to let food enter your stomach. Your muscles in your esophagus that allow food or liquid to pass are commonly done when you are not swallowing.
It may seem to be right the opposite, but your throat is commonly closed, until you swallow. I personally have experienced this sticking or done throat situation and it was literally nerve racking the first time or two. Not that each time I've experienced it hasn't been, but I have learned to deal with it in a more calming fashion now.
The worst reaction to your throat contraction or sticking is to panic. Once you comprehend your throat will not allow you to swallow and food is lodged, you can still breathe, so relax as much as possible. The time it takes for your throat to open can vary considerably. My throat constrictions situations have assorted from a few seconds to any minutes. There was one opportunity where it was stuck for roughly 45 minutes. The types of food commonly are coarse that trigger these throat constrictions. From coated pills, to lettuce and red meats are the most coarse among sufferers of throat constriction. As time goes on and you encounter more occasions of throat constrictions you may have more foods that become triggers. Cheeses and baked potatoes may also cause you to experience the throat constrictions too.
Guinea Pigs Sounds
My first experience literally led me to the Er to have the red meat stuck in my throat to be pushed down with the help of Er personnel. I later went to an ear nose and throat doctor that took a camera scope down my throat and carefully some minor throat abrasions but nothing more.
Some other consuming facts that I have secure with my personal experiences with my throat closing while eating is, it's an immediate knowing as to what is happening and as I said before, do not panic, it is not life threatening. You can still breathe. If you can get outside so that you can continue to spit your saliva as it continues to build in your throat, do that. You never realizes how much you salivate until you can't swallow it. So many helpful souls will try to get you to drink something. This doesn't work. If you can take very small sips of water. Any other fluid commonly contains sugar or other flavors that may prevent the throat from opening.
Another fact that seems to be quite distinct is the age factor. Since my experiences, I have talked to others and it seems to happen over 40 years of age more often. The unmistakable gurgling sound when a person is experiencing the throat collapse seems universal.
Since I have not sought more curative attention, being the typical male, I have done some things that affected the frequency of this event. I chose to lose some weight and mysteriously this throat constriction qoute simple went away after I had lost roughly 15 pounds. I plan maybe this constriction thing is tied to being over weight. It held true until about a year later I had regained the
weight I lost and my throat spasms or constrictions returned.
A friend of mine for some 30 years, is a few years older than me, and he too has fought this problem. He had had a throat cancer and fortunately has beat that, but he later had the throat spasms. He went for any throat stretching treatments and felt relief for a duration of a few months before it returned again.
My brother is 45 years old and it has started happening to him. He is more doctor shy, than I am, and has used me as a unqualified curative counselor or guinea pig. This is not advisable but it's the reality. So, aging is a factor and reflux also seems to tie in to this condition as well.
Reflux is more treatable from an curative insight of what is happening. With reflux, this condition is caused by spicy foods and a weak stomach flap. Laying down or trying to sleep can be a bad trigger to reflux. The stomach flap relaxes and doesn't do it's job of holding food in your stomach. As the flap is open when it should not be, your stomach acids are released into your throat and literally burns your esophagus or throat.
Reflux treatments vary, but one selection is to have a minor surgery to tighten the flap, for lack of a great curative explanation. This is a more long term treatment. There are other treatments available and without surgery. Each person is affected somewhat differently or to differing degrees, so you have to decree your what your options are and the medicine you choose.
As we baby boomers continue to live and age, the condition conditions that we face will also increase, and with condition insurance so out of control, if we can help each other to great communicate our conditions, hopefully we can operate our costs and doctor visits as well.
So, in conclusion, I would first try to lose weight, at least 10 pounds and see if the throat constrictions go away or lessen. I would strongly advise staying away from coated pills. This seems to be a chemical triggering affect, of the coated caplet and your throat sensors. I would advise you to take your foods wisely. distinct foods trigger this qoute and if you are carefully to eat what you wish, then cut your food in small bites and drink plain water with your food. Drinks that have sugar in them seem to be a bad combination with distinct foods.
For some think this curative condition is not widely known or understood with many doctors and you will probably be told that when this condition occurs, the food is literally additional down your throat than you think, this is incorrect. It feels like the blockage is right at the top of your throat and it is in most cases.
