How to manage choking during eating?
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I have a problem with my gut for more than a year, and everything I try is not helping. I need some advice from you, as it has been such a long time and I would like to fix this. Whenever I eat something, I feel some weird feeling in the gut and after that, I feel like ''choking'' not enough breath, and my nose gets clogged. What it could be?
Please let me know.
Kindly help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I read your query and can understand your concern.
I am very sorry about your medical condition and I am glad that you are paying attention to changes in your body system. But do not worry. I am here to take care of you. Regarding your symptoms, I strongly believe you have developed an acute indigestion due to recent food failure to digest and this will stuck in the throat and chest leading to difficulty in breathing due to the food compressing on the larynx.
Do you take adequate water after food?
I advise you to do the following things. These include:
-
Take a lot of fruits and vegetables after food.
-
Drink apple juice after meals and exercise regularly.
-
Syrup Gaviscon (antacid) 20 ml to be taken orally, thrice a day for two weeks.
-
Tablet Omeprazole (Prilosec) (proton pump inhibitor) 40 mg orally, twice a day for one week.
Kindly consult a specialist doctor, talk with them, and take medications with their consent.
I hope this helps.
Thank you.
Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
