I couldn't swallow this morning

I've never experienced that. I can swallow my food although before I did not even drink water. Usually the food caught in my throat if I eat in a hurry.

I have had trouble swallowing several times. One time we were at Sizzler and I was eating steak then. I had chewed a bite enough I thought and went to swallow. I couldn't. I was getting to the point of choking and I did panic. I spit some out cause I couldn't swallow it. It was embarrasing and I haven't eaten steak there again since. Salmon is better for me anyway. lol

My own experience is different because after swallowing the food it seemed like the food gets stuck somewhere down and gives me some difficulty to breathe. This happened more than a couple of times.

When you get up in the morning, a cup of warm water will good for your health and help you swallow. If I FELL hard to swallow, I will drink some more water to help me swallow. have a nice day.

This is not good. You must see your GP to check it out. My thyroid was swollen and I had huge trouble swallowing. Be careful.

used to happen to me when i was still in elementary but after went to a clinic for a medical check up, the doctor advice me to drink a glass of water (roughly 250ml) upon waking up in the morning. and since then it become my habit he he.. and it never happen again

drank water, or sip it out. Anything dry can do that. It doesn't happen often for me though.

never had that problem but do know the panic when your body doesnt work as it should. my aunt had that problem but i dont remember what it was.

Hi PQ, That must have been scary. I sometimes have trouble swallowing. Drinking water always helps. Have a great day!

Luckily you didn't choke on the carrot. Now you know to always drink water first thing in the morning and when you feel thirsty and before you eat anything. I think it's best to drink water as often as you can. I don't think I've ever had the experience of not able to swallow my food. I hope it'll never happen to me. I would probably panicked if it happens to me and would just throw out the food instead of trying to swallow it forcefully.

Well, to be honest, I, fortunately for me, I have not had a problem like that. (At least with food) However, this thing of not being able to swallow, to me only happens when I try to take a pill without drinking water to swallow it. Then if it were a capsule, then it is worse. Happens in that case (and to me has already happened several times), that the capsule is going to open my throat, then I spend about four hours with the oral apparatus almost paralyzed, and for the most part, in a situation like  wanted to vomit. Now for a long time, fortunately I do not need more than having to swallow the capsules, but still, I remember those bad experiences!

When I have been so tired during the previous day especially if I talked to much or had a singing spree, it also happened to me. The other cause is when I have cold. What I would usually do is that I gargle with warm water. Drinking plenty of water is one of the best solution to this problem. Have a nice day!
