I often aspirate when eating or drinking and end up coughing. I also get food stuck in my gullet a lot causing hiccups. Is this another fibro thing or a separate issue?
Yes i have problems swallowing and aspirating. One night got so bad that my husband had to do hymlick and disnt even realized he did it. I dont like eating alone for that reason. Another night i choked again and my kids were in the other room arguing about the mess they made and in the mean time i was chiking in the livingroom. They are only 6 and 7. So yea i can choke over a grain of rice....it scares me.
I always seem to inhale rice through my mouth n start choking on it.
Yep, I have that also. I cough a lot and am super sensitive to liquids and get things down my windpipe often. It is scary sometimes and it also happens when I look up or turn my head to the left. Weird.
I have been having problems aspirating when swallowing certain pills and small pieces of food. I cough it out eventually but it hurts my throat for a day or 2. I was thinking i may need a scope done to make sure nothing is going on. I feel better knowing it might be fibro. It is scary when it happens. At least we are not alone.
Yes I have the runny nose thing a lot and have had to start eating really slowly. Thought it was just the aging process.
