Familiar ?
If this is your first
time or you’ve had trouble swallowing food
stuck in your throat on several occasions it
is never any easier or less stressful.
Choking, or more accurately, not being able
to swallow is not fun. Still being able to
breathe during these attacks, separates it
from true choking conditions.
There is a little known title given to
throat spasms that literally cause your
throat to slam shut and not even let your
own saliva to pass down your throat. And
that title is called Achalasia. There is
another name given to this condition and it
is Schatzki's Ring.
It has been my studies that tell me that
there are far more cases of Achalasia or
Schatzki’s Ring than doctors would attest to
for whatever reasons.
There are some reports that claim this
condition is primarily targeted at people in
the 35 to 65 year range, but I have seen
cases that literally involve much younger
sufferers as well
That being said, the medical field is still
not admitting to this disorder as one that
can only be attributed to Gerd, reflux, or
throat cancer as the main causes for this
problem. I personally beg to differ
somewhat. Please understand I am not a
doctor and do not expect you to do or try
anything that your doctor would not approve
of.
I do have a
son-in-law who is an orthopedic surgeon and
by chance I did ask what he thought on my
condition of constantly choking on food
stuck in my throat.
Much to my surprise, he admitted to having
suffered with this condition himself. He
offered his solution and needless to say, he
is now my favorite son-in-law for the rest
of my life. At least from a medical
standpoint.
What he said I should do is to take Prilosec
or a generic of it and double the dosage for
a month, This dosage would be to take one
pill in the morning and one pill in the
evening. I did this for a month and then
continued to take only one pill per day.
This has been miraculous, nothing short of
absolutely amazing. That was in 2014 and now
in 2017 I continue to have a normal eating
habit without having to avoid any foods
whatsoever.
Choking on certain foods is no longer an
issue. I can eat whatever I want whenever I
want, except for spicy foods too close to
bedtime. Old man acid reflux can still visit
me when I am horizontal. But aside from
that, after some 10 years of choking on food
stuck in my throat, nearly 3 to 4 times a
month, I am cured.
Speaking first-person and as I write this
article, I have made some revision to my
daily intake of the generic Prilosec pills.
In light of recent studies that state that
daily continued use of this Prilosec and
Nexium regiment can contribute to liver and
kidney problems, I now will take my generic
Prilosec once a day for 2 weeks then nothing
for 2 weeks and then start over. Never hurts
to be cautious and not get overly dependent
on a pill. While this remedy has work
wonders for me, I expect it may not for
everyone.
There is something in the Prilosec formula
that address either a deficiency or
imbalance within my throat or my body’s
nutrients, but instead of pursuing a costly
trip down doctor’s office lane, I’m happy
with what works for me. I sincerely wish
this remedy will work for you as well.
I have included other people’s home remedies
and personal solutions to their similar
choking on food stuck in their throats on
this page to give you as much home remedy
solutions that I deem relevant. I still
would suggest that you seek medical
attention from a specific doctor say of, ear
nose and throat specialties. But, a general
practitioner would not be likely to know
your specific needs without suggesting
having your throat stretched or a lower
esophagus muscle being clipped. |
