Trouble swallowing my food!

shivs · Aug 18, 2003

Just recently I started to get this pain when I swallow my food, it feels like when you swallow one of those big *** horse pills and it almost gets stuck. Is it possible that I could of scratched my food tube with one of the rough edges of my splitted proscar pills? Just got this pain about a week ago. If it was gyno I would feel it whether I was swallowing food or not right? Plus I doubt it is because my nips and breasts arent swollen. Anybody?

stress tends to constrict the throat passages. Also go to the doctor for an endoscopy you might have Gastro esophageal reflux disease. aka constant heart burn. Have you had difficulty digesting food? have you been regurgitating food? Does it get worse when you eat pizza or acidic foods.

If you did scratch your throat an endoscopy can determine that.
You would help yourself by not drinking smoking or being in second hand smoke atmospheres unitl you get this under control. So relax, go to the doctor (insist on an endoscopy). IF THIS IS STRESS RELATED, go on a selective seratonin reuptake inhibitor such as paxil. Remember stress can kill, if the Doctor wants you on ssri's take them, also start on valium temporarily since there is a four week incubation period for ssri's.

good luck
