Guest guest Posted May 7, 2003 Report Share Posted May 7, 2003 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?

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2003 Report Share Posted May 7, 2003 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, 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.

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2003 Report Share Posted May 8, 2003 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
