Re: swallowing

[Guest guest]

I'm interested in following the string on this. I frequently have the

feeling that there is food stuck in the upper part of my throat, but nothing

will dislodge it. Likewise with pills. (This part is a little gross...

sorry) When I was pregnant and sick all the time, whatever felt like it had

gotten stuck last would be the first to pop out (before stomach contents).

I often wonder if I had some kind of pocket in my throat that's catching

things, which would explain why I can't dislodge them.

Anyone else?

Re: Re: swallowing

Is this a similar or related " swallowing " thing. When I am eating it feels

like there is some food in the upper part of my throat. It is most

noticeable after eating. I have no problems with water, occassionally a

medicine will get stuck, but I think that is just dry throat. If I feel

this, then take another forkful of food, it seems to push the other down,

and

the feeling may or may not be there?

Hey, y'all.

I asked my nsg about this. DON'T LAUGH. I was wondering if there was

something in my throat-like the herniation was pressing on my throat or

something. He smiled a very patient smile, and explained that the among the

nerves compressed in the brainstem is the nerve that controls swallowing,

and that was causing the sensation and the trouble.

I used to pride myself on knowing a little bit about the human body and

anatomy until I found out I had Chiari. It's been very humbling. ;o)

Peace,

Hi All,

I don't feel like there is something in my throat normally, but

occasionally when I take my tablets in the morning (I take 3 sorts)they

seem to get " stuck " and it really hurts. Also I sometimes choke easily

on food/drinks.

Does anyone else have this problem - or any suggestions.

Thanks
