Re: Vomiting without nausea

[Guest guest]

I may be way off (been known to be before) but I don't think it's a

reflux thing, it could be a red flag symptom of brainstem compression.

I.E. swallowing issues. I have this almost all the time now, where my

food just doesn't go down my throat very well or fast...and often the

last bite seems to stay right at the top of the gullet and at times,

it has slipped back into my mouth. I find this really strange because

one would think that your gag reflex would be in full force with

something like this happening, so I self tested my gag reflex and I

don't have any.

I guess my question would be, does he have the " throw up " action of

heaving? or does the food just slip back into his mouth (like mine

does?) If he is heaving, this is very bad for people with Chiari and

instability etc...valsalva manuevers cause bad flare ups...

I want to ask Dr. B about this for myself, if this is something I need

to look into with a neuro specialist, or should I just be careful

until I get my fusion (in a year or so)...

I want to post this to the group because I'd be VERY interested to

hear if anyone else also has this symptom where food comes back into

the mouth without gagging or heaving...

thanks

Yup, me too. I also have thrown up into my mouth without vomiting

although I suffer from daily nausea too. It sometimes seems to slip

back up like you described without any heaving.

I also have many other symptoms of brainstem compression and have

some minor swallowing difficulties so this is interesting to hear

that others experience similiar symptoms.
