Wow.. It's amazing the things you may have that you don't even realize other people with Fibro have too. Choking on my own spit, any kind of liquid is frequent.

I also have a problem swallowing. It can be pills or water.I also sometimes choke on my on saliva which is gross, all do to fibro.

I went to an ENT specialist and found out some of my problem is the cartilage is collapsing in my nose so, I can't get air in through my nose while eating. So, on instinct, I try and breath through my mouth and it's causing me to choke on my food.

Choking has become a real problem for me. Since diagnosed with Fibromyalgia I've gained weight and have been diagnosed with sleep apnea. I don't know if this has brought the choking on or not. But with Fibromyalgia my body continues to evolve with tics; finger miscues when typing; stride changes in my walk and so much more. Choking has become a more serious side affect so I try to be more alert to how I eat and drink, how I talk and breathe and anything else that brings it on. Haven't found anything to really help besides ricola cough drops.

@A MyFibroTeam Member Same thing here. When chewing a grape, if the juice goes in my throat, I'll start to cough.

My thyroid is ok. I've been checked several times.

I even tried to look at my tonsils to see if I don't have one of these nasty tonsil stones.
