For the last two years whenever I'm eating certain foods especially potatoes the food gets temporarily stuck. I have too force it down with whatever I'm drinking. It's scary, first time it happened at work I thought I was really going to choke everyone said I turned red. I forced it down hard with 2-3 big gulps of water. This type of thing ever happen too anyone else? My father in law told me about a procedure they can stretch your esophagus.

Yes. Follow your father in law into the closet and he will stretch your esophagus

This is serious I don't want to die from choking.

Smaller bites and more thorough chewing of same and you should be just fine.
-
I've had this issue since I was a kid. Like the Scott said small bites and thoroughly chew. Also I NEVER eat without also having a drink to wash my food down. Also i avoid high risk foods like steak, but that's also because I tend not to like chewy foods like steak.
-
You're most likely eating like a crocodile or there's swelling in your throat. Chew your food a lot more and see if there ain't something groing without you knowing.
Was tempted to make a bad joke but I'll refrain.
-
I eat too fast it's a bad habit I have too break. I will chew longer.
-
I get this occasionally. Apparently there is a term for it as one of my clients was describing it to me one day and it was the exact same thing I've experienced and what you're speaking about above. She'd had it for years.
Last time it occurred for me was while eating cheesy Italian shells Hamburger Helper. All of a sudden I felt like I have something the size of a tennisball of food stuck in the esophagus, just before it went into my stomach... and it feels like the esophagus is being "stretched" when it doesn't "want to" stretch. Painfull as fuck, & I also start to panic a little bit at first, then realize I can still breathe. Then, when I go to throw up, nothing comes up at first and it takes me awhile before I actually get the food to come up.
Last time it happened I was at home sitting on the couch with a girlfriend, however I've also had it happen in a fucking restaurant with sushi :(

Chew your food and eat slower.
I had food stuck in my throat years ago, I had to go to the ER for it.
It was this shitty still in college job with an even shittier 30 mins lunch break. After that, you learn eating quickly when driving isn’t worth it.

Did you ever go to the ENT to have your throat looked at?

You will be visiting Dallas soon

LMFAO ;D ;D
-

No. Probably have to do a swallow test.
-
I've had this happen a few times, figured I was just eating too fast and not chewing good enough. Slow down
-
It happens to me a lot to I try to watch eating harder food and cut my chicken and stuff up good
-
Nothing to worry about. It's just a little natural selection.
-
I didn't realize how common this was tell this thread

Well then, problem solved.
-
I'm sure some getbigger's have a lot of experience with things getting stuck in their throats.
-
Happens to me a lot. You can almost feel it sliding down you're throat slowly. I usually don't learn and keep shoving food down once I feel it dislodge. It almost feels like choking while still being able to breath, if that makes sense. Slow down and have a drink with food.
-
Are you on any meds?
Sometimes this happens to me and I attribute it to my medication.
-

Only Shizzo and ESFitness. The latter "only" when he's in jail but once outside it's back inside the closet.

Why would he do that when he can just ask getbig?

Yes, you probably have acid reflux (GERD) like I do. They roto-rootered my esophagus a few times.
I had a steak tip stuck one time, mid-way down. I waited 17 hours hoping it would go down / dissipate.
After 17 hours dehydrated, had to go to ER... Was a fun time for sure...

Neither did Dallas. :o

This has happened to me too, but very rarely. Only time in recent memory was a couple months ago, eating a peach while I was walking home. I think I was distracted by walking, and didn't notice a "build up" until it was too late. By the time I felt the first twinge of pain, there was plenty more in the pipe.
It is a little frightening... it almost feels like your throat is sure to burst, but it always passes.

Yes getbig is full of doctors ready to answer any questions on hand

Lol what a story
Yeah, chronic reflux can cause esophageal strictures. If you have a history of heartburn, that's probably the cause. It's worth a visit to the doctor especially if you feel like it's worsening

Have you lost weight?? Aside from esophageal stricture there is always a chance of CA. Get an endoscopy.

Are you implying that Getbiggers have implemented a steady diet of Kielbasa?

One other time was a cookout/party my band was playing. 10 mins before we start, I figure Ill get something in my stomach. 1st bite, piece of chicken stuck. Again, you cant eat/drink anything (blockage). Big sips of beer come pouring back out. Got real horse mid-way during 3rd and final set. Made it though... On way home stopped for some ant-acid gum, did the trick, helped dissolve the piece of dead bird just enough so I could get it down, thought I went to heaven. No surgery needed on that occasion... Voice was horse for days, it does some damage...

Happens to me with certain foods and has for years. Ones I ate a Metrx protein bar and I thought I was gonna die. I was in a grocery store and right after I swallowed it got struck. I had no water so I grabbed a water from the cooler near the check out. I figured a drink would help it go down but instead the water got stuck too. I kinda started to panic so I figured I got nothing to lose so I just took a big swig and the fucking pain of that bite going down was unreal. It's like it had to get past a certain point then all was fine. Needless to say I'll never eat certain things with out having water near by.

You seem to have GERD which can cause a stricture(s) in the esophagus due to acid reflux. The procedure is called an endoscopy. I've had several, as well as have had to go to the hospital with food (steak 2x) stuck. I could breath, but the food wouldn't pass through to the stomach and was lodged thus preventing me from even swallowing my own saliva. After 24 hours, I went to the ER (both times)
Watching what you eat, chewing your food carefully, etc, etc make a huge difference.
-
Lots of getbiggers not having good gag reflexes
-
Have been to the ER once from steak.
Have had numerous occassions, always from the initial bite never going down.
Tough steak is bad but dry chicken is equally as bad. Always poor quality meat or poorly cooked meat makes the problem more likely to happen.
it can happen with sushi from the gluey feel of the rice.
i take the first bite, chew and wash it down. If it goes down im good to go after that.
it appears on days where i have high caffeine intake food gets caught more savagely.

I suffer from the same condition. One thing you can try is upon it happening, grab a diet coke and chug it. The pressure from the carbonation will often times result in a rather violent expulsion of whatever is stuck. The hospital gives you something similar if you show up with something lodged in there.

Caffeine is to be avoided at high doses for that very reason. I switched to half caf coffee 6 years ago and it has made a substantial difference.

Which is shocking. I expected the opposite.

Not bad advice at all.

About 7 years ago I was eating chicken and foolishly it was a big piece I swallowed and I knew I was in trouble I swigged some diet coke and further fukked up situation ,it was in lunch room and I was choking nobody knew what to do,i heimliched myself into a high table and partially forced piece up a bit ,but I was in serious trouble still I freaked and got into my car 'I did not want ambulance 'to come where I worked and I figured I was sorta ok to drive,,hospital was good 10 minute I sped bad got there ,I had small passage way to breathe luckily but I felt a large lump right at lower trachea 'pained'as well.i had to stop along the way to spit cause I had saliva build up from the obstruction.i needed to go under'anasthesia' and have the chicken 'remaining portion'pushed down into stomach,scary ...I have some sensitivity and slight swallowing issues since.

I should have i was dizzy ,panicked ,could not swallow it just was stuck ,large piece they couldn't believe i drove like that..
-
Seems like this is very common. I thought it only happened to me LOL
I eat really quickly, am guilty of that, and for a while I was constantly choking on food, till the time I thought I was dying, it scared the shit out of me.
I now TRY and swallow smaller bits. It takes the enjoyment out of eating for me though, as sometimes , especially in a public place, im thinking about making sure I don't choke.
Hasn't happened for about 2 weeks, so im doing ok LOL
-
Amazing how many of you retards don’t even know how to eat

You really may have to get your through expanded, it’s an outpatient procedure and is very minimally invasive with short recovery, see an ent.

Yup, a ring of hard flesh forms where the esophagus meets the stomach.
Dude put some scope inside and stretched the thing.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schatzki_ring
Asymptomatic Schatzki rings seldom worsen over time, and need no treatment.
Symptomatic Schatzki rings may be treated with esophageal dilatation, using bougie or balloon dilators. These have been found to be equally effective.[6] Bougie dilatation involves passage of long dilating tubes of increasing size down the esophagus to stretch the area of narrowing, either over a guidewire passed into the stomach by endoscopy (the Savary-Gillard system) or using mercury-weighted dilators (the Maloney system). This is usually done with intravenous sedation to reduce discomfort. Dilatation can produce some temporary irritation. A short course of proton pump inhibitor therapy may decrease aggravation by stomach acid reflux into the esophagus. The duration of the benefit of dilation varies, but may be from months to years. Dilation may be repeated if narrowing recurs.
