Food getting stuck

[spiro]

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. 

[calfzilla]

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.

[spiro]

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.

No. Probably have to do a swallow test.

[chaos]

I've had this happen a few times, figured I was just eating too fast and not chewing good enough. Slow down

[chess315]

It happens to me a lot to I try to watch eating harder food and cut my chicken and stuff up good

[Tapeworm]

Nothing to worry about.  It's just a little natural selection.

[chess315]

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.

[Irongrip400]

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.

[wes]

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?
