Idk if it's acid reflux or phlegm stuck in my throat cuz I feel something there even when I'm not eating, this literally happened a week ago and now I'm having trouble swallowing foods I get lil axienty attack but it feels like muscus right there blocking my throat so I'm not sure what this is but I don't want to lose weight I been eating lol by lil and more meals to help me maintain my weight cuz I'm already petite I'm 100 pounds 4"11 and if I lose this weight ima look sick 😭 i cry every night cuz axienty is really affecting my life
HELP!> So i always feel this block in my throat and i always gulp it and its ruining my sight messing up my ear and hearing but it will not go away i tried taking cough drops but it hardly worked and if i stop gulping it will stay there forever i need help is there any ways to prevent this?
@@crazycoolios5859same. Been to ENT, can't find anything wrong. It's driving me mad.
@@crazycoolios5859 sounds like you may have an inner ear infection, or possibly a bad tooth that’s allowing bacteria to cause inflammation/infection.
Anyone else feel like every time they swallow food it feels like it’s stuck in ur throat and it’s hard to get down and u have to have water every time u eat and it’s hard to burp
Same me I have acid reflux but I don't know its bec. Of acid reflux
same burping,vomiting,halitosis badbreath problem here
Yes please did you find out what it is
@@bean3365 you have halitosis issue
Yes even when I chew it good. It gets stuck and I also have issues with liquids getting stuck as well. I also have globus sensation when something feels stuck but isn't there. Acid reflux sucks.
If anyone heaving choking sensation because of anxiety don't worry you'll get over it. I suffered from it for 2 months. I went to several doctors and they told me that I am totally fine. Then I went to therapist still nothing happened. For this all you need to self confidence. And when you get panic attacks while eating just let it be don't react and do your usual work. Keep yourself busy set a goal and have a trust in yourself. That's how your body will understand that swallowing is not a threat. Look at human body anatomy that's how you'll realise that you'll not choke you can swallow. Thru recovery you might have experience ups and downs don't worry sometimes our body don't feel confident enough. In my journey I lost 10kg and I couldn't do anything I couldn't study or talk I was really depressed. So talk about this with your parents friends try going outside have fun go restaurants keep yourself busy and these things really help for recover.
Hi dear...I am having the same problem of choking due to anxiety disorder...I can't swallowing even small amount of food and Even I feel discomfort in breathing....I decided to go for ENT specialist but now I changed my decision by looking at your comment...This gives me so much positive vibes... Thank you for helping out people 💕
Thank you! That was my problem. Makes me feel so much better!
@Austin Adler you should consult with a doctor first. they are going to tell you if anything is wrong. It might give you confidence that your completely alright. I know how anxiety works it's a mental problem but it's still very physical. But believe in yourself and doctors because they are the best to diagnose any physical conditions. At first I thought what if I have cancer or something else. But in reality it's just anxiety. So don't worry. After consulting with a doctor might give you confidence my last doctor was really kind to me. He really understood my situation and that gave confidence. I hope you'll fine soon just believe in yourself
Someone help me I have anxiety already and choked on food last night , it felt better when I drank water for sure but I'm still uncomfortable and feels like a lump ...... I'm breathing fine and drinking and eating... I'm not okay mentally tho
@Austin Adler don't worry you'll recover I know how you are feeling I am only 17 and I just recovered like 2 months ago I'm still not fully recover nobody deserve to live like that.😔 but don't lose hope. I know you can do it.
We are living in times where doctors very easily point to mental health problems or anxiety whatever the symptoms are, it's like physical problems with the body doesn't exist anymore.
They're there to sell not help
Bc they don’t know the answer when they should
Never been so grateful to be able to swallow normally. Alhamdulillah!
Howw?? Please tell me
I'm facing this problem from my childhood....😢
I constantly have to carry a water bottle with me or I can’t eat anything, because I feel like I can’t swallow it. It’s kinda hard to explain
right i told my mom she dont really understand it..
Have you found a fix?
@@taylork6527 my parents don't understand they just said to sleep it out😂
@@averagecabb4ge well my parents just said get it out of you're head :/
Globus sensation
I've had swallowing problems for something like seven years. Fluids go down fine, but solids have to be thoroughly chewed. Dry food in particular is difficult, even boiled potatoes.
Choking is frightening.
The first time it happened, I was on my own - I had to act fast. Reasoning that gravity might help, I knelt down and put my head to the floor so that hopefully whatever was obstructing my airway would drop down back into my throat and mouth and away from my windpipe. After a minute or so of struggling to breathe, things eased. I've had to do this on about four occasions, and it's worked - I hoped that this might help some of you out there as well if you start to choke.
Oh dear. That sounds awful. I hope you improve
@@Mina-ok5qm Thank you for your kind comment. The choking bouts have resulted in my developing a constant awareness of what's happening when I eat and drink, it's no longer something I do automatically as in my younger years.
I'm very careful, I take my time, and this has helped a lot. If out with friends, I order small food portions so that we all finish our meals at about the same time - I don't want everyone to wait an age for me!
Adaption has for me been the key; I've learnt how to live with it.
Thanks for sharing your experience. In my recent episode I may have benefited from the "head to floor" action you described. Question: Are you sure you want to use the word *choke* here? Isn't it more like inability to swallow, not inability to breathe?
@@cliodyncycwatch924 Thanks for your interest - I'm pleased that the head to floor action I described has been of help.
The word 'choke' is definitely a reference to breathing - some food must have got into my airway.
Since my previous posts here, I now have a diagnosis. A motion X-ray film was taken as I swallowed various barium-impregnated foods in succession. These were yogurt, mashed banana, and white bread. The investigation showed that I have what's called a crico-pharyngeal bar. The crico-pharyngeus muscle forms a 'ledge' in my oesophagus which prevents the normal passage of food. I'm about to see my doctor regarding possible treatment.
@@gam1471 Just to clarify, I did *not* do the head-to-floor action. It's something I would have done had I had reason to believe it could provide a benefit at the time.
(In my prior comment, I wrote "I may have benefited.." but there are two interpretations of that phrase! I wish english was easier to use with precision!)
Now that I know my condition was quite different from yours (I had no breathing obstruction) it's not obvious that it would have helped me.
The action you described might still benefit other readers.
I wish you success in your pursuit of effective treatment.
Scary video and music , it reminds me of how vulnerable we are
Okay so update for those that where curious about my swallowing issues. So mine is from a rare disorder called achalasia it can happen at any age. Unfortunately since I noticed symptoms at 15 years old and didn't really think anything of it and now going on 30 years old. It got worse and well since food and water wasn't going all the way down it pooled and just sat in my esphogus and stretched it out. So I have achalasia complicated with megaesphogus and will require surgery to fix it. Achalasia has no cure. So seriously people if you are having difficulty swallowing just go see a doctor so they can truly see what the problem is what I thought was acid reflux ended up being a rare disorder because it can cause symptoms similar to gerd.
I was recently diagnosed with achalasia type 3 and “Jackhammers “ esophagus. Like you I think it has evolved over the years and then what felt like suddenly I started having problems even with liquids. I will be having the surgery next month and I’m not sure anything could have been done earlier but I wish now that I would have had it thoroughly checked out a few years ago.
How r u now..did u get surgery
@@marymoody4900how are you now did it get better
Hey friends, here are some things that I feel could be causing your swallowing issue.
- Hypochlorhydria ( Low stomach acid )
- H.pylori infection
- Gastritis
- Inner ear issues/Eaustachian tube
- Post nasal drip irritating back of throat ( Check upper teeth near maxiliary sinus )
- Deviated septum ( improper breathing )
- IBS, Leaky gut, sibo, sifo ect causing vitamin deficiency/change in hormone function
- Diet, sugar , gluten, dairy
- Stagnant Lympthaic System ( Lympth massages daily )
- Candida over growth. Candida on tongue and in throat creates a gag reflex/swallowing difficulty for some.
- Not breathing correctly when on a device for long periods . (Shallow breathing can send the body into a fight or flight response) we're probably all guilty of this one.
Hope this helps someone ......
Good luck and rememeber, you got this!
How does h pylori cause difficulty swallowing?
@@ciu.applynow H Pylori has been shown to damage the stomach lining causing other issues down the road

@@commonmanfitnessgoal7711 As far as I know Endoscopy is not painful but good luck dear. May Allah make it easy for you. And do update me when it is done. 🙂
@@commonmanfitnessgoal7711 If you have a white film on the tongue this could be Candida and cause your tongue to have a sort of gag reflex as it’s touching top of the tongue
Adam Fields DC on You Tube has Throat Opening Exercises for SWALLOWING. 14 minutes. Worked for me after one time doing the exercises. I have Alzheimer’s and having a hard time swallowing. People said theirs was anxiety. My mother had Alzheimer’s and nursing home had to blend her food because she couldn’t swallow. Mine might be anxiety too. The exercises lasted awhile but today having trouble swallowing. I don’t mind the exercises. Their not hard or long AND after only 14 minutes of your time you can swallow again! Hope this helps a lot of people.
It is very helpful video. Video is true. UA-cam it is showing problems. I enjoy tops of sewing problems. It is Great full video.
I'm having swallowing issues almost 12 years. Started when I suddenly felt like I cant swallow during a meal, nothing worked there and I was so scared to get chocked and die. Since then, nothing helped- any doctor nor psychologist. It feels like deep anxiety whenever I put any kind of food in my mouth. Im helpless. Praying for some breakthrough.
How are you doing now?
So far how are you doing, I'm currently having anxiety and trouble swallowing
Hi Dear...If you heaving choking sensation because of anxiety don't worry you'll get over it. I suffered from it for 2 years.For this all you need to self confidence. And when you get panic attacks while eating just let it be don't react and do your usual work. Keep yourself busy set a goal and have a trust in yourself.
Still struggling, trying to figure it out 😐
Same here
Thanks for the video. What is the best imaging or test to have when having problems with swallowing foods 9 months after ACDF surgery?
I’d assume Barrium swallow. Disgusting stuff and potentially harmful if you don’t drink enough water, but it gets the job done.
I have this now since I had ACDF C5-C7 surgery. I’m SO thankful I don’t ever choke though. The food just kind of sits there until I take a drink of liquids to push it down.
Same
Same issue due to no saliva due to radiation damage
did you ever have any issues with pieces of food stuck in your sinuses? my body produces so much mucus to help moves this piece out after me constantly trying to blow my nose or clearing my throat? i plan on going ti the doctor just thought id ask
@@joanbaczek2575 sorry to hear about your radiation effects but could dehydration also cause these types of problems?
My father had the ACDF surgery. After surgery, he chocked on pills they gave him and he aspirated into his lungs!! He was intubated for 2 months and now has a feeding g tube. He can not swallow without aspirating. Double pneumonia 2 times and on life support. We are now looking into having the mental plate removed from his spine because they suspect it is causing his Epiglottis to not close due to the metal pushing against his esophagus.
I am suffering from problem in swallowing last 6 months I go to several doctors but all report are simple I loss my weight and don't focus in my study. When I swallow I am pray that please that food don't stuck and go safely when I ate every time. Then I come here and read comment here people explain that is a Physclogical problem so don't think about swallowing when you swallow and go out from your house and busy in some things . Then you easily swallow
I took a capsule pill, and i obviously didn't have enough water while swallowing it. It felt stuck right underneath my mouth, but the doctor said my throat was clear and said i damaged my throat tissue, and i would be back to normal in 24 hours. It still feels like a solid lump in my throat.
I had sarcoidosis, chest x ray showed the lymph nodes in my chest were the size of walnuts. I had trouble swallowing, but in time it all went back to normal.
How long did it take for it to go back to normal?
Does anyone know if this can be caused by dental work or braces?
Plz make video the treatment of thickness in upper esophageas
I think tgat many people are feeling this because we are to focused on our own swallowing that it doesn't kick in automatically as it should, like we get very anxious and start to overthink things without realizing that the food is already going down on it's own the bam, you start to panic with food stick in ur throat. I got this issue in 2022 around November i was sick at the time and I've been using my throat a lot by coughing and clearing up my throat because of the mucus. So i got up and went to eat some food because i was hungry, i was eating it perfectly fine when i started to feel like my sweater was too tight around my neck i didn't think much of it but it really made me concentrate on swallowing after I pulled it forward to have clearance. Then suddenly i felt that my throat was very weak but food was already in my throat so I'm sitting there with my sister sitting next to me I can't react to get her attention i feel my heart drop bad and get some kind of tunnel vision just staring at the glass of juice i thankful had ready. I grab it almost immediately but in perspective it felt like a long time because to many thoughts cane through my head at the moment like family and stuff i guess u can say my life flashed before my eyes. I drink the juice no problem but now i have a lot of anxiety and i didn't know what to do or say at the time because i was just shocked. But i ate very carefully. Fast-forward to literally today in sitting watching tv more concentrated on my swallowing then it happens again i do the same thing and over it. So that's why i think that it's just anxiety and thinking about it it what's causing this to many of you. Just don't think about it's just like breathing let it happen eat peacefully watch television or talk with people simply enjoy your food and forget about the responsibility of ur throat control it'll do the work for you. Hope this helps, and stay frosty.
ive had issues swalllowing food for some reason i hold my throat when trying to swallow things and it feels like im gonna choke on all of my food i was diagnosed with GERD in 2020 I thought it would stop by than. cant even eat my meals fast enough and my esophagus tenses up and so does my chest sometimes and I dont even know where its from. Im praying to God that it isnt anything serious whatsoever ugh. I'm only 18 its too early for health problems. the thing is it that it doesnt happen all the time i think its also my really bad anxiety like everytime im around family or something or in a crowd of people it started happening
I feel the same ....and I'm only 22 ...I'm so worried if this is serious?

September, 25, 2023. Do you feel better about the swallowing food 🍲 now ? Just wondering b/c I just done the endoscopy last Wednesday, 1-2-3 mild chest pain, breast shots and swallowing. But I’m still difficult swallowing with food ? Can you update about issues swallowing? Thx q

id go see a doctor no one deserves to suffer for that long ever. Hope everything gets better for you!
You should go to doctor
I’ve been having this problem for majority of my life and I swallow. Sometimes I swallow my tongue. It kind of scare me, but I’m used to it now.
I am glad I found this video I just turned 48 a few weeks ago and I had an endoscopy and EGD done. They said no cancer, esophagual or stomach abnormalities. So, when I eat or drink the food seems to start to go down, then it feels like automatic "air bubbles" in the back of my throat that seem to prevent the food/liquids from going down. Does anyone else have this?
Yeah haha it's awful usually for me it's like my stomach decides to bring up burps as I'm trying to swallow, what helps me is drinking some water along with the food I eat. It's very annoying but seems to help me also I've noticed if I drink water before I eat it helps me too.
@@KevinPonceNC I have the same problem… “air bubbles”.. but I can’t even get water down when it happens. Haven’t found a solution yet… have to wait a day or two and maybe I can get something down. Had to go to the ER and have an endoscopy done the same day after I couldn’t eat/drink for 5 days. Very frustrating.
I cant eat foods. And sometimes water also. ..and every morning. When i brush my teeth. Lots of cough comesout and. Bubble salavia. And this happends almost like 2 years im afraid showing doctor.
@@middleclassGamer606 Hello. I am sorry to hear that. Since I had the POEM procedure done last May I have been closely monitoring what I can eat or not eat. Your are right. Water does not work, so I drank thick shakes or nutritional drinks such as Boost every day. They do down well. Also, every morning I get up early and have to lean over the sink and "purge" my esophagus to get phflegm, saliva, and mucous out. However, I am happy to say that if you search online there are a few Achalasia diet books that people have written.
Happy that I found this video because now I think I actually know what’s been wrong with me for the last 5-6 years. I feel like I have a tight cricopharyngeus muscle. Liquids go down just fine. But when I’m chewing solid food, it’s like I chew it and move it around in my mouth for a while before I feel like I can comfortably move it to the back of my throat and swallow it. This is really quite frustrating and at times depressing because it takes me anywhere from 3x-10x the amount of time to eat something as someone normal would. I dread going out to eat with people sometimes because I can barely talk because I’m SO focused on making sure I don’t choke while trying to swallow my food. From this video it seems like there aren’t really any treatments for a tight cricopharyngeal muscle other than literally doing what I’m doing, that being chewing my food up into almost a liquidy paste every time. Has anyone else experienced this or does anyone have any solutions? Is there a specific doctor I should see?
man, I'm kinda going through the thing. I've had gerd for years, after 4 egds & swallow studies, they do not see anything wrong. it's fustrating bc I'm hella hungry, eat slow, I'm 99 pounds now. it's awful, I really don't know what to do and this does get worse for me in stressful situations.. I'm so discouraged.
Omg same situation with me!!!!
Hlo bro same here😑💔
Same here as you described. It just started about two months ago. For me I have to take a deep breath before swallowing any food almost holding my breath just incase I do choke I have enough to try and force it out 😔. It's weird that it just came out of no where.
Same issue 😔😓
I get pain when I swallow sometimes. The endocrinologist actually widened my throat but it was only temporary.
Then I had an unrelated neck X-ray which showed a bone spur right where I swallow. Doc didnt recommend surgery,
just said to take smaller bites and chew 30 times
I had this food chocking since 2009 and until now. When i had food chocking, i cant use or drink water since water cant help to push the foods. I always vomit in order to help me in food chocking situation. I had refer to doctors and it also relate to phsycological issue or trauma of eating which i had the trauma 15 years ago when my first food chocking happens. For me, until now food chocking always happen when i start thinking of my previous trauma.
This has been happening to me alot ive been having trouble swallowing even with nothing in my mouth
do u have to focus on each swallow?
Been dealing with this for almost two years now.
NOT FUN AT ALL!
It comes and goes when it wants, but it's usually around.
Dealing with it as I type this, while at work.
Got a good lunch but after one tiny swallow, my throat has stopped functioning.
The tiny lump of beef is currently still lodge in my throat and refuses to budge.
I tried using water to help it slide down, but the water gets lodged as well and throat forces gagging/vomit reflex.
The liquid comes out easily during this, but the food stays.
I can feel it move up and down as I gag/vomit the water, and some stomach contents. All liquid though.
It's also forcing my salivate a LOT. Not good when you can't swallow!
How are you feeling now. Did you go to the doc?
it is vey beautiful video
I just started to have this problem
My father went in to come because of this problem 😭 he is ok now but the doctor said he can’t swallow anymore so he needs a feeding tube 😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏
it’s like i have to use more muscles in the back of my throat even just to swallow water is it because i don’t have enough saliva? when i do it’s easy but it’s kinda hard because when i eat dry foods my mouth is always dry
Same, have you ever found the reason
I have general Dystonia.. every day I wake up I'm just surprised because of how damaged my swallowing/breathing/ speaking..
I think I have a Schatzki’s ring. But with water swallowing quickly and hard I can usually get the big bites that I can’t swallow down. Had an upper G.I. they open the spot supposedly to help me. It really didn’t work
Alhamdullilah i have recovered from this ❤️❤️❤️.. i was suffering from swallowing problems for over a year now maybe due to anxiety problem and because of this i became very weak and thin cuz i wasn't eating food properly but Alhamdullilah Alhamdullilah i have recovered now ❤️.. All i did is to have faith in God, workout regularly cuz of this i became very hungry and the urge pops up for me to eat something, i cut out soft drinks and fast foods for 8 months and just fuits/vegetables and homemade meals.. now my body is in good shape and not slim anymore but more like a chad bod 😂😂... But its no big deal i can recommend you guys a heavy calories homemade shake which is similar to eating a solid food...
Just take 500 ml milk, with 2 raw eggs, 3 banana, 50or100g oats, 1 scoop of peanut butter grand it and there u go... A nice 800 plus calories shake.. but trust me whoever is suffering from it.. just believe in urself and god and you will overcome this fear ❤️
It's very scary 😢 yaaa Allah 😢 when I feel this problem I can't explain how I feel 😢
Did you have an endoscopy if you don't mind me asking
I have been trouble swallowing for years. Went to ER already for food getting stuck an not going down. I got an endoscopy and was told I have gerd. My esophagus has been severely battered by acid constantly coming up. And now food is slow going down or gets stuck. I was put on protonix but the side effects were horrible an was switch to omeprazole. Funny thing they give me pills when I'm having trouble swallowing.. I break open the pill and sprinkle into applesauce. After about a week my swallowing was alot better.. I also use tums to help as well. I'd would suggest changing your diet as well finding out your trigger foods..
I have the same issue and have gerd also. So lately I feel my food or water stuck in throat. Eventually after a while it goes down. But it’s so scary feeling. I see the gastro doctor in 3 weeks. Is there anything I can try in the meantime to help it.
I have the same issue and I have a sore throat every morning and throat is red have had this problem for years now does omperzole work? I just want to be able to eat normally again 😢
From having fever this week to getting the allergy’s & now this 😭🤦🏻♂️ I hate this week with the pasión
I need help, I’m dealing with this for the past 3 weeks, accompanied by back of throat irritation and post nasal drip causing a lump feeling in my throat! I’m constantly clearing mucus from my throat, and I cannot eat very hard foods like meats, sausage or anything firm. Sauces rices and soft things go down well. I’m 25 years old and the more I think about it also makes it worse. I’ve been to ent and they did camera down my throat and he just presribed me a anitihiotic to stop inflamed throat? Haven’t took the medicine yet but I don’t feel like a antibiotic and can take this feeling away. Im banking on allergies or post nasal drip because like I said it started in February and March, also right after my neighbor cut his grass !
I feel the same exact way
i have to drink water after everybite or ill choke and die
Eat slowly , take your time, always keeps water while you eat, take care
same
Be strong!
Hi are you okay now?? Iam having this issue rn I haven't eaten in 3months and I eat soup and yogurt only. I am hangry and weak all the time I feel like I won't ever recover and I have forgotten how to swallow. I can't walk and study anymore.
I have to have my esophagus stretched/dilated about every year or year and a half. When I know it’s time, food gets “stuck” and won’t go down. I usually have to vomit it up but that takes about 20 to 30 minutes and I’m miserable until it either comes back up or finally goes down. Once I have the procedure, I’m good for another 12 to 18 months. My Mom and Grandmother had the same issue, so I think it’s probably hereditary.
I have pain on the right side it feels like when I swallow it goes down the pipe in slow motion and it’s painful. But I don’t have a sore throat or any other pains. Just a slow pain feels like I’m swallowing a golf ball.
My 10 year old son just started having trouble swallowing out of nowhere. He hasn’t eaten a full meal in a week now. Took him to the ER and after all the bloodwork and CT scans, they found nothing wrong. No fever, no Covid, he just can’t swallow like normal. He says it feels like food backs up after a few bites. We have another Dr appointment today. Hoping for some help/answers.
I got this problem for year now.
I have gastroparesis through diabetes and eating is a problem. I feel sick and uncomfortable after a few mouthfuls. My own saliva causes me to choke sometimes...check out gastroparesis symptoms and see if you this may be a cause. Hope your child gets the correct diagnosis and feels better soon
I feel horrible for your little one. I've suffered from this painful swallowing for years. Have you tested your little one for an autoimmune disease called Sjogren's or Sicca? It's a disease that attacks salivary glands and makes it impossible to swallow solids. I hope this helps.
My mother is having same issue.surgery is mandatory or not in this case.
Please give update
The problem is we’re so focus on chewing and swallow our foods. Back then we wouldn’t even care and just eat
😂you're right
@@catherinealiviza96 😂I’m eating happy again. I was just having anxiety
The music just made me run !
It started randomly on like July 31st and now it's August 27th and i still can barely swallow. I went to my pediatrician who sent me to a ENT, i got meds for acid reflux which is NOT what I have, then i went to the er whom did absolutely nothing. all they did was see if there was something in my throat. there wasn't. i just want this to end i cant even eat out anymore.
Edit on September 24th: It's gone now for literally no apparent reason. But yeah so in my experience it just vanished as fast as it came.
Tell your doctor to refer you for a gastroscopy. I'll take it on Friday.
You're lucky i am still suffering i can't eat in restaurants or not even with my parents my dad is sad because i don't have any meals with him
did you get an allergy test at the ent?
I had something similar … felt like my throat was closing .. I think a symptom of long Covid
Mine started just yesterday, I went to bed and tried swallowing my saliva but nothing worked, it felt stuck , and now I can't eat properly nor swallowing my saliva, when I ate earlier, food felt stuck , I had to drink water, hope we all recover, next week I'm gonna go to the doctor and ask, it can't be cancer since I have no signs of it, it's not anything, I just feel it's not anything serious that made me have this condition, I saw on Google that sore throat also causes difficulty in swallowing , but if any of you saw this, please tell me if the cause is those chocolate Oreos and chips are the cause since it I ate alot aswell as tons of ice cream, it just felt all of the sudden.
What did the doctor yet you?
@@CT-um7zq It's just acid reflux and now it's recovering. It's nothing serious since I got medication. But saliva is still pretty hard to swallow still.

Failure to swallow all the food into the stomach causes SYNCOPE!
I had total syncope with really frightening black out three times over about 9 days and each time after eating last bite/last spoonful of food.
I had had GERD for some years that I know know is CAFFEINE ALLERGY that gave mea stinging pain either side of my throat before the usual acid reflux started. The stinging started immediately after usual light breakfast of slice of bread or toast with butter and usually some jam or marmalade.
During rest of day the GERD was slight and if worse I took antacid.
Then I started getting a pain at bedtime when lying on left side and had to turn over onto right that made the pain almost disappear.
If I turned back left i almost heard and felt a heaviness sort of slopping over as though my esophagus was filled with food or drink that had not progressed down into my stomach over the 1-2 hours since last meal or drink. I wondered if the lower lower esophageal sphincter LES was not opening to allow the last meal to pass into the stomach.
This went on for several weeks at the time had first COVID lockdown made it impossible to get doctors appointment.
Then I had the first of the three syncopes and finally managed to call a doctor who immediately said it sounded as though I might have a esophageal cancer and arranged an endoscopy.
That took a month due to COVID delays.
I only had a drink of water several hours before the endoscopy and was surprised to see enting esophagus, stomach and first few inches of small intestine looked healthy and pink and the doctor said no sign of cancer or other problems.
Just after the endoscopy I noticed I had the pains in throat and reflux after a breakfast of tea and a rye crispbread. I reasoned that the rye was so innocuous that maybe the tea was the culprit though as I'd been drinking tea for at least 70 years it seemed ridiculous.
But I searched the medical literature and found that a caffeine allergy can develop and give reflux.
I immediately stopped drinking tea and bought and drank decaf coffee and almost all the gerd has disappeared except for a slight sore throat if I make the coffee a little strong.
Therefore I think this is what happens with GERD-SYNCOPE is actually a SPHINCTER PARALYSIS.
The caffeine induces GERD.
The GERD irritates the esophagus and LES.
Eventually the GERD irritation causes the LES to fail to open so that the last meal remains in the esophagus to give that feeling of food at the back of the throat.
At some point after this LES paralysis spasm develops a meal will so fill the esophagus that it causes pressure on the adjacent windpipe sufficient enough to starve the lungs of oxygen,
The lack of oxygen then starves the brain and causes the SYNCOPE BLACKOUT!
The syncope causes a self-preservation reflex of deep swallowing and deep breathing that restores the oxygen supply to the brain.
As I now eliminate all caffeine and GERD inducing food from my diet by carefully checking ingredients of all food and drink I have little GERD and no sensation of esophagus being filled with unpassed food.
I hope those horrible symptoms you have disappear and you return to a normal and healthy life.
@@afs9612 I'm fine now. The endoscopy showed esophagus clean healthy then I realised I had caffeine intolerance so most days I don't have acid.
But curiously yesterday morning I ate a dried date and it burned all the way down to my stomach. Dates don't have caffeine or citric acid but do have another weird ingredient but even then it was strange it birned all the way down while oatmeal and milk had gone down OK half hour earlier.
@@rosewhite--- Thankfully your esophagus is healthy! It's very unfortunate that you had that experience with the date. I hope your on a path to great health!
Hey Rose...is endoscopy scary??
@@stevethesuper Not really, it's just the urge to puke as it goes in.
then the view on the monitor gets interesting.
I have been recently diagnosed with Myasthenia Gravis which causss swallowing difficulties.
I suspect my epiglottis is not working correctly. Twice now when I am eating I cannot breathe after I swallow. I am literally choking on nothing for about 5 or 10 seconds until my airway opens up again
Anyone had this problem after catching covid ten days ago I'm unable to eat anything solid even smoothly had to have zero bits in. Will let you know if improves .
Same here from November
Can anyone feel like something is stuck in the throat in this problem with the other Symptoms that are shown? After finishing the food,I feel like the food is stuck in my throat and sometimes feel like it is comming up and feels like vomiting
I have same symptoms how r u now
I'm here for you if you need someone to talk to dear
I have to hack my food back up when it gets stuck about 70% of the time. Then I chew more and swallow again. Usually followed by drinking some liquids. I also wake up and drink a few chugs of liquid after which I have to burp every time and sometimes a few times. There's a lot of pressure until the burp relieves it. Also if I'm not drinking through a straw or tilting my head back when drinking it comes out of my nose. No idea why I have all this. I have a paralyzed vocal cord as chance has it but I don't think that would cause my issues. Could be worse right?
@@mysterriimee3610how old are you bruh?
I have been having swallowing problems during only at dinner for 2 years ( it's so weird ) it's like gas in my stomach accumulates through out the day, while I'm eating I bloat every couple of seconds and swallowing is getting hard and the anxiety kicks in I haven't lost any weight because of it thankfully but I have no idea how to fix this. If I am stressful it becomes more severe. Sometimes I have reflexive gestures like my hand to my chin while trying to get the food to my stomach. I am also using Anafranil for 3 years and I didn't had any symptoms before this drug. I also got diagnosed with gastritis 1 year ago. I just want to swallow normally and free bloat meals 🥺 I don't know what's the underlying condition behind it
I always feel burning sensation in throat and I felt it mostly during the swallowing spicy food
I have to chew my food for like 5 minutes and only get a little bit of food so I don't choke
Me too
It sucks 😢 do u no if theres any treatment ?
TELL ME ABOUT MAN. it’s exhausting to even fucking eat. don’t get it, times i’ll feel good about tj then bam it gets bad again. i don’t even wanna eat in public anymore
Bro I feel like I'm legit swallowing my voice box because every time I swallow it goes down, and I feel tightness in my throat 💀 I went to the doctors and they mistaken it as a sore throat 😭😭 I don't think I can eat anything because it hurts to swallow
Please suggest me any one .. when I am swallowing some food going into the windpipe and entering into the lungs .. what is the treatment for this ?
My dad is on his dead bed in the hospital bc he cant swallow food. I dont know what to do. Hes been in there for almost 10days nows. :( Any help would be appreciated
Watching this while eating is weird
For instance relief take throx 150

Hi sir,
İ am Devendran from İndia.
My father met with an accident three month back. At that time Doctor made a Hole ın throat for oxygen and further treatment. Now he discharged and become normal condition. But he is having high pain while eating. Is there any solution for this problem kindly let me inform. Thanks
Today I had to go to urgent care because the pain of swallowing became too painful. But because of Covid-19 they couldn't exam me. So they just gave me, prescription medication and sent me off. And it still hurts so bad.

Can someone tell me what’s going on? I take small bites, and chew my food a LOT, but right before I try to swallow I realize I can’t. It’s like my body isn’t ready even though my brain is telling it to. Adrenaline shoots through my body and I have to either cough the food back to the front of my mouth or immediately sip water to swallow it without choking. What is causing this? Will it ever go away? I had covid 5 months ago.
I need answers
Same thing
@@anakinpimpwalker me too man i’ve had it for a very long time. don’t even wanna eat in public cause it takes me much longer
Please can you help me to explain more about how to treat the difficulties of swallowing food or water(my English not verry well)
What is the problem?
I had an operation many years ago called Nissan fundoplication to stop my severe acid reflux.
I had many problem after the surgery, paralysed vocal cords, swallowing difficulties etc. as I’m getting older, over the past few years I’m having “breathing/choking” Problems.
First time it happened, I actually choked on toothpaste while brushing my teeth. I could not breath, my throat just closed up! I couldn’t breath through my nose or mouth. It scared the bejesus out of me. My husband went into a frantic panic because there’s nothing he can do but watch. It lasted about 2-3 minutes, but it could of been longer. It’s happened a few more times since. I can choke with the slightest thing, even swallowing my own spit. I’ve never choked while eating or drinking. I’ve not seen a doctor, I would really find it hard to explain it to them. It’s not just choking, I can’t breath… literally, it’s so frightening. I’m scared it’s going to happen when I’m on my own or out and about!
Is this really happened after surgery?
It could be damage to the Vagus nerve!!
I’m so sorry you are dealing with that 😢
I choke ONLY on liquids, not food. Doctors don’t seem to hear me. How can I explain..
It only happens with liquid. Weird
Same here
Drink slowly and while standing
Soo , this video didnt help any, and neither did the comments. BUT, if youre like me and it feels pretty unbearable to swallow (idk how explain but super sore to the point it feels like you could cry everytime you swallow you might even hear and feel something in your throat popping) youre having an allergic reaction to something. I called my Docs office, and this heaven sent nurse explained to me All the doctor will say is benadryl and eat /drink fluids as warm as you can take them!! Its been 3 hours and I feel so much better.. some people go days without treating it apparently and it does go away on its own, but just go get some benadryl if you're not allergic so you dont have to suffer... this is very common as well, but I've never experienced this .Idk why a comment like this wasn't on this vid 😅
I feel like I can’t do anything because of this ,feels like I want to give up 😢😢
It's so hard to explain wherever I eat food I make sure I have water bottle coz food always kind of stuck in my throat idk it's just a feeling n I couldn't even breathe properly while eating
How's it now?
When my dad eat first bite of food he face some issues for few seconds like food is stucking, sometime it chock badly for seconds but it happen twise or thrise in a month and then after eating one bite he is not facing any kind of issues then things become absolutely normal.....can you tell me is this normal ?
How is he now?
Bro I had trouble swallowing for a couple years now and it’s still to this day and it’s annoying if you want to swallow better drink water before eating something it really help especially when your in the middle of eating something
When I eat I get food to the back of my throat to swallow but I feel like I’m going to gag so I don’t. Do you know what is wrong with me
Alright I’m going to the hospital wish me luck y’all
I have to swallow constantly it burns my throat I hate it sometimes I feel like jumping off a bridge my throat ends up in a cramp I have read on line it's caused by anxiety I'm sick of it

I have to swallow constantly too and it makes it really difficult to be in a quiet classroom
Scleroderma disease, especially diffuse scleroderma, can cause this type of dysphagia due to esophageal lesions or strictures (high risk). Also.....Anyone who loses their teeth from scleroderma connective tissue damage have much higher risks of this dysphagia because the loss of teeth means not enough bolus to break down foods such as rice to swallow properly to prevent the risk of dysphagia.
velum should be elevated during swallow
I've had 'Dsyphagia' now for 35 years started when I was 23. The first 10 or so years not so bad but the last 10 I live in terror! I am approaching the point of not even getting water down and weight only 142 lbs now as a man that's distressing.I've not had solid food since Christmas Day 2021 and getting weaker.
Why haven't you seen a specialist for the past 35 years? I'm reading comment here and people are being cured so why the delay?

I have this too. I think it is acid reflux or it is a psychological problem. It feels like I have to chew for a while before I can swallow and it still feels like something gets stuck in my throat. I’m kinda scared I think I might have to go to the doctor

It happens after catching covid.
That 1 of the reasons- ther can be more
Difficulty swallowing= few month before a stroke happens

Hi Dear...If you heaving choking sensation because of anxiety don't worry you'll get over it. I suffered from it for 2 years. I went to several doctors and they told me that I am totally fine. Then I went to therapist still nothing happened. For this all you need to self confidence. And when you get panic attacks while eating just let it be don't react and do your usual work. Keep yourself busy set a goal and have a trust in yourself. That's how your body will understand that swallowing is not a threat. Look at human body anatomy that's how you'll realise that you'll not choke you can swallow. Thru recovery you might have experience ups and downs don't worry sometimes our body don't feel confident enough. In my journey, go with your friends outside have fun go restaurants keep yourself busy and these things really help for recover.
The pain when you sneeze 💀
From 1 year I have a problem with swalling liquids. It feels like my epiglottis doesn't work sometimes. A have to take very small amount of liquid im my mouth and then try to focus to swallow.. i choked 2 times, and it was terrified... is it nervous system??
I cannot get a diagnosis since my issue is initiating a swallow.... scary and so far I have no answers
i have the same no answers for 23 years i think its just extreme anxiety
So I have the same problem, started by having a chip stuck in my throat, every day after that I scary to actually swallow my food, to the point where ice cream im scared to eat.. your rite liquid goes down easy.. and solid I get this weird feeling I'm going to choke rite before is swallow my food... I scared for my future...
Me too! You should see a doctor in case of anything
@@jasonuronis3410 went to see an ent doctor he told me I have tonsil stones... but after a camera went into my nose to see my throat the ent said everything looked fine, which I knew it wasn't fine lol.. now I'm see a nutrition doctor to see the part where the food enters and goes to my stomach.. thats this Thursday.. ill let you know... and now its 1 5months and only had solid food for one day in that time, been drinking boost meal replacement drinks ever since..
@@jasonuronis3410 ya thats who I'm seeing this Thursday just couldn't spell lol.. seriously I've had some dark days thinking this is what my life's going to be like in the future nothing but drinking boost milk lol

@@ethanmosca9812 so doctors tell me everything looks fine, I should just chew my food really good and use water to help the food go down better... 2months now I've lost 30lbs, pretty much drinking meal replacement drinks... and almost choked on chicken fingers yesterday.. I know there's something wrong with my throat.. therez no fear of choking or anything, its like I'm losing the muscle in my mouth to help me swallow...
My problem is if I eat any delicate drink water than those go inside my one side stomach 😢
So my issue seems to be after eating for a bit or steak which may be my chewing tires my jaw out the makes swallowing difficult. I do fine at first but if I'm tired i have issues more often. liquids swallow fine. But I'm concerned why steak is an issue every time or wtf i might have.
I hate this. I constantly have to have some kind of liquid to drink during a meal because its certain for the food to get "stuck" while I try to eat. Sometimes the food refuses to go down, that I end up regurgitating the liquid I try to wash it down with. I don't like eating anywhere because I'm afraid of this happening.

I only have problems with chicken. It only last for a couple minutes. While it’s happening, I have to spit up what’s in my throat and I can’t drink liquids.
After this couple minute episode, everything is back to normal.

@@breathlessinbedvlogs I just did, thanks.
I don’t think this is it.
It hasn’t happened for a couple months now and I’ve been eating more chicken then usual.
Think it has to do with stress.
Seems to happen after a long day of drinking caffeine and not eating at all.
I appreciate you taking the time to try to help.
@@breathlessinbedvlogs your question led me to finding what I think it is.
GERD without the acid reflux or heartburn.
It’s triggered by caffeine.

I have pain on one side of my throat while swallowing liquids mostly. Its more painful when i try to swallow liquids very fast like just chugging on a bottle of water or something..i dont have a sore throat or anything! its just pain on the right side of my throat when i swallow, i don't have any sort of ear pain or facial pain too, please help
I don't have problem while eating food it , i have difficulty in swallowing only water & saliva
Feel like choking something is stuck there is stiffness in my oesophagus something is pulling & shortening my oesophagus . I have been to many doctors nothing has worked
What to do
Same problem here
I woke up one morning and I tried drinking water, but it felt like it was stuck down there even when I try swallowing saliva. It’s still happening for the 3rd day and when it feels stuck, it makes it harder to breathe.
What does it mean?
Same thing. What did u guys do. I think I ate something and forgot to chew it
i have the same problem but only when im about to sleep
if your saliva is rly thick almost mucus like and you cant swallow that is a serious allergic reaction
@@cloudm865Same af, I remember when I was sitting with my friends and eating chapati ( puff bread ),suddenly a morsel stuck down in my throat,then I stood up and walking anxiously,somehow that morsel got down in my stomach,now whenever I eat morsel of rice or chapati (puff bread ) and swallowing,its feel me like that the morsel stuck down in my throat
Now tell me how can i recover because Im suffering from this disease
I can't eat properly can't sleep 🥺 properly 😭
How are you feeling now?
Food and water will go down (occasional choking) but then 5-10 min come back up so a cap full of liquid or pieces of food that i swalllowed will come up into my mouth again.
Every time I swallow food stuck in my throat liquid pass by easy but solid food it’s hard to swallow
