Feels Like Throat Is Closing An No Air Posted: 07-14-05 10:04am
I am a newbie and I ned some advice!
I know this may sound silly, but if I am
sewing and get stuck by a needle, or get
cut by a knife while cooking, my throat
instantly tightens up and I struggle for
air. Sometimes I wake up choking like
this.
This morning, I went to swallow a pill and
it felt like it was stuck. I started
gasping for air and ran up to my
daughter's room for help.
She simply told me that I was alright and
to calm down.
I finally did, but I have a very sore
throat.
Now i'm scared to take my pills.
What do you think?

I think your daughter is right. Keep
calm, believe me you'll know when your
choking on a pill, and you won't be
running up stairs. That shortness of
breath at night or the feeling of choking
at night, can't breath. Get your adnoids
checked and possibly for sleep apnia.
Just an idea.
