Guest guest Posted July 14, 2004 Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 Hello, On the subject of swallowing I have had some difficulty in that area as well. sometimes my throat seems to get a spasm in it when I try to swallow something. I can get choked rather easily as well. They taught me the chin tuck method of swallowing and I am afraid I don't prctice it enough. They also taught it to my father who had PD. I have also noticed that certain textures at times will give me hiccups. It seems to be just certain textures that do thislike corn bread or hamburger. Heavily grainy stuff and sometimes bread. I don't know if that is here nor there just things I have noticed about my swallowing. Another thing they told me to do that I do not do and probably should and that is to drink from a straw. I think the purpose of that is to help prevent the drooling and choking.....Hugs...Patti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
