Re: swallowing

[Guest guest]

Donna,

I have a problem swallowing quite often, although it seems to me that it

seems to get stuck more in my throat then down lower.....Figured it was the

fibro! It is very scary when it happens....I get it from drinking too..guess

I should have it checked......Not sure there is anything that can be done for

it though.....

Take care....

Donna, I do have some problems with the swallowing too, sometimes I can be

eating and it seems the food stops going down my throat, I have to drink a lot

of water to keep it going down and sometimes my meds feel like they are still in

my throat after I swallow them. Audie

Swallowing

Hi Everyone,

I have a question for anybody (or everybody) lol! I sometimes have

trouble swallowing. I don't choke per se, but rather, it gets 'clogged'

halfway down my esophagus (sp) and it's very painful. You can breathe,

but the pain in your chest is tremendous. I have had some horrible

tests done because of this and according to those, the peristalis

muscles that work to move your food down when you swallow are only

functioning at 10% (if I " m remembering that correctly). Now this

doesn't happen often, but often enough to be a pain. Nobody knows why

this is happening, but my guess is, it's tied to the Fibro. So, I want

to know if anyone else has this too? My sis has Fibro also and she has

this problem. Anyone else? Oh and it seems that stress while eating

will trigger one of these awful attacks. They last about 2-5 long,

long, minutes. Sometimes my chest is sore afterwards. Thanks for

sharing anything.

I have this problem due to a medication that causes dry mouth or which I

call cotton mouth. =-) When I have an extremely dry mouth it is so hard to

swallow dry things such as bread for instance. It's so annoying.Well, I do hope

they can find something out soon, it's no fun being in the dark! Take care.

Audie,

Yes, I know what you mean. The only difference is, I can't swallow anything,

let alone water. It's like the opening to my stomach has just clamped off.

It's horribly painful and there is nothing they can do about it. :-) Which is

a real pain to me (no pun intended) lol

Well, I had a scope done and they didn't find anything. That's when I had to

have that awful test

done where they put sensors down your nose into your throat and then into the

stomach, all the while

measure your muscles ability. That's where the 10% usage of the esophagous came

into play. IT

seems that stress will bring it on in a heartbeat.

I've been told nothing can be done about it. But so far, no doctors have

connected it to Fibro. It seems there is a lot of things wrong with me that

have

not been connected to the Fibro but you all have too, so you have to wonder?

I too have had this happen and it is scary,

or I will just go to swallow saliva and it

feels like I can swallow and I have to take a

drink really quick, it feels like when they give

you something for pain and your mouth

goes so dry you cannot swallow.

Or have you ever had your brain 'forget' how to swallow? For a second you just

sit there waiting trying to figure out how to do it! Then it comes back. This

is different than having it get 'stuck' halfway down. But scary all the same.
