Dr. Bob explains common conditions that cause food to frequently get stuck in the throat or become difficult to swallow. Throat scoping is also discussed. For more health tips visit www. drbobshow.com.
I've had a hiatal hernia since I was 10. It was exacerbated by food allergies. Yesterday afternoon I ate a piece of beef followed by grilled chicken. It all got stuck in a swollen area just above the sphincter and blocked me from swallowing any food or water for over 24 hours. Meanwhile, the meat rotted. After "working" the mass for hours at a time, I'd get bits of chicken and eventually beef, all mixed with stick phlegm. It would come out a little at a time, out of 50 to 80 attempts to dislodge it. Today around 6 pm, the bit of meat and chicken that was stuck in my esophagus dislodged and went down, with a swig of water. The rotten meat went into my stomach, and 4 hours later, I vomited 6 times, and then again 30 minutes ago I vomited 4 more times. As of this moment, I am having liquid diarrhea. It will subside in about 30 minutes to an hour, based on past experiences. 20 years ago I got food poisoning from perfectly good steak that got stuck and rotted, then two days later, it went down. It can be potentially dangerous. So now it's "wait it out on the toilet." Literally. I hate this. It would make a good case study, I'm sure. But I hate it.
It started with that, Saw my doctor. Now it goes into my jawbone. A dentist broke my jaw pulling a tooth in '03. i can feel the piece of bone. Now they say cervical cancer isn't real cancer. I know what Candida looks like. It's cancer now, advanced.
Well i had the endorscope thing done so i don,t feels like food get as stuck so bad but still depending on what i eat like something dry like meat or fries veg it happens like it just sticks there for a little so annoying does anyone knows why that happens? i mean i did had the procedure done i don,t get it"
I have read peoples comments and I have A very Similar thing, only happens now and then what ever I eat small or big always gets stuck in my throat. Then after a wile starts going down not very nice. There’s been a few times I had to be sick to get it out, what is the cause of this...
I have a hard trouble breathing. So bad it's making my stools almost inexistent. I swallowed a pork bone. I have almost none gagging reflex that's why it did not produce. me to vomit. What shall I do? Are X-Rays any good?
This been happening off and on for about 2 years now but it recently just started to happen more often…now I see my doctor in a couple days …but water don’t work for me soda does but not all the time if I drink soda or water, and it doesn’t push the food down all the water or soda comes back up horrible felling but I found it more helpful to wait it out if soda or water don’t work it usually takes about an hour or longer to go down it’s just horrible feeling I mean I can still breathe with food stuck in my throat but just me worrying about it feeling it lodged in my throat bothers me and just makes me a little bit more worrying but hopefully the doctor tells me something and fixes this issue
Same here, just happened 30 min ago and last night as well. peice of steak cut very very small. water never works as i just drool as I can not swallow at all,s sometimes coke cola
@@julieorr8365 dame that’s crazy yeah soda is the best way for me but it just takes a lil bit but hopefully ur going to get checked out by ur doctor too I can’t wait to what my doctor says I just make sure all is good nothing crazy
same here. Went to the doctor they gave me a test where i drank something with the constancy of thick shake and could look at it as it progressed down my throat. They found nothing wrong. Told me to see a speech pathologist which is not a medical doctor. So you gonna have to push them to find the answer because IMO they are very unmotivated if the problem is not readily apparent. Broken bones, they are great at.
Sometimes I get spicy sweets cookies that get stuck for days thats irritating and feels like bark dust trapped in my throat but I can't get rid of it. Then I will have a good hard sneeze and that loosens it and then will cough up the ball of food.
I thought I had it bad with my problems of not being able to get the gas up out of my stomach.. It's getting stuck right below the breastbone area I don't know if it has anything to do with the swollen lumps in my throat or what it is
I’ve had this problem since I was a kid. When I ate too fast or the food was too dried, the food would stuck to my esophagus and I felt pain until I drank some water to push it down.
It didn't go down for 2 hours, In which i vomited count 30 times. I had to go to the medical emergency room since it wasn't going down and eventually I vomited it down after medicine.
@@jkeebla wow, yours was serious. For me, I drank water and it pushed back up to throat. And after a few minutes it would clear and it was unbearable. I had these happened many times in my life.
Schatzki’s ring is my problem. I’ve had my esophagus dilated three times. It always reoccurred shortly after having it done. The Doctor did not want to dilate it anymore, he said the odds of him puncturing something goes up the more he does it. But oddly enough he wanted to give me a RX for the actual dilator to use on myself at home. So I said to him, you don’t want to puncture something but your ok if I puncture something at home? Wack job
Yo Its Dianna Try a very hot drink ..which might get it to move. Also Drs reccomend getting in the "PUSH UP Position and then let you body fall hard on the ground.I suffer this all the time..and I would be so happy if these things work for you xx
@@daniellemorales7260 first thing you guys need to do in these situations is not panic and give yourself a heartattack, instead try to sit down, relax, take a few deep breaths and not think about it for a while, while occasionally taking good sips of warm / hot tea or water to help it relax the throat and relax yourself...also some medication would help calm you down if you get anxiety or panic attack and get tachicardia or something...most important thing is to stay calm and try to snarl it out or caugh it out, if its not helping try vomiting it out by sticking 2 fingers down your troat.... If its a big piece and your choking then someone needs 2 help you get it out by thrusting you below rib cage and plexus...also i read a comment if you get in the push ups position on the floor and drop yourself on the floor quick that it might help...havent tried it but it makes sense to get it out...good luck to everyone with this problem...im also going thru hell with it..not funny at all...cheers🙏👍👊
@GeorgieGeorge yeah man, i feel you.... seee im a long time chron smoker but i quit long time ago, like in 2005 or 6. but i continued to drink and smoke cigz. now i quit drinking in 2020 and now only smoke and drink coffee which is why i figure this is happening.. its because the damn MUCUS and probablly acid reflux i got.. i notice that hot teas would help, and coca cola but i hate it...i drink soda water all the time and teas and coffee... but i think its mostly the mucus from smoking and coffee and soda pops, all dat sugar and shit makes it a bad mucus in your throat and plus mucus from smoking there ya go... i try and spit it all out by taking this cough medication and clear my lungz and brochies...also anxiety and tripping will make it worse.... i try not to panic anymore when it happens.. i just eat normally and chew it good..also have teeth problems so cant chew that good on one side...that would do it too.. but it also wouldnt hurt to go see the ORL doctor for sure because he can see and tell right away whats up... maybe you got some shit going on in there, maybe i do to, maybe we all do, who knows... like it cant just strat happening all of a sudden you know... its weird.... never happend to me like that before..only a few times by accident, other than that i dont think so...as im writing this i do have a piece of ground beef stuck too lol... trying to get it out with peppermint candy and lay down on the floor and do back excercises...that helps me sometimes... but yeah...i dont know what to say other than good luck brother and most def go see a doc, wouldnt hurt...also try to find some good herbal teas for clearing the lungz like wild oregano, oregano, basil, etc, etc.. theres lots for it. also eat lots of garlic and purple and regular onionz it all helps for the lungz and throat...good luck cheerz and stay healthy. Peace 1
@GeorgieGeorge actually burping might sometimes get it out but not usually... coke or any carbonated shit is drank to wash it down because of its fizzyness....try also strong peppermint menthol candy...it might help.. also hot teaz or water...stay safe everyone. cheerz
My food wont go down i have to vomit it out 2 weeks ive been like this rapid weight loss i had the camera down they only found minor stomach inflammation, i need to go for the swallowing test to see whats going on
i have a little french frie stuck in my throat and it always bother me. i had it today about an hour something after i was done eating the french fries
something is not stuck in my throat but something got stuck in the side of my throat and it’s a piece of McDonald’s hamburger meat. I can breath fine and eat fine no choking symptoms at all do y’all know what I can do because I’ve tried everything I can to get it out nothing is working what can the doctors do can they get something that’s suck deep down of your side of your throat.
I am very nervous...something stuck in my throat I think it's a rice but not that sure....these is few days ago since I swallow a hair ....please help me I'm just 13...
Tried drinking a diet coke a good swallow it may take a couple of tries and yes it probably going to come up the first two times but eventually it will force the food down you probably have a hiatal hernia due to acid reflux so try after getting the food down drinking a small amount Apple cider vinegars with mothers for a couple of weeks this will cure any Hiatal hernias due to acid reflux hope this helps
I had noodles and that stuck in my throat... it not hurting but I tried all remedies but doesn't work..pls suggest the any other remedies so can cure soon.
No help for us that have no insurance and our food gets freaken stuck all the time. Can't even drink a soda without it getting stuck in my throat!. I've lost 8lbs because the only way to get the food unstuck is to vomit it up. Yes I'm ranting cause I'm scared and can't get any help.
Linda Browning Chew lots of times and eat alone. Best ways to avoid getting crap stuck in your throat. But most importantly beware of what you drink. Some stuff ends up in your liquids about to drink. And it's very hard to avoid something stuck in your throat by drinking something so you oughta filter every thing you are about to drink
Why are people commenting on this video for people to help them? Lol If I have an emergency type situation, I am not going to go comment on CZcams for help. How about 911? Some people, I swear....
