Yes, I have. Was especially bad under stressful situations. Since my life has calmed down and I got rid of the stressor, doesn't happen often and not as bad. Had a swallow study once, where they gave me increasingling thinner liquids, even though I told them I did not have a problem with liquids. Smaller bites, keep liquid by your plate so you can moisten your mouth and throat. As we know meds dry our mouths. Hope that helps.

@A MyChronicPainTeam Member, interesting you should mention difficulty speaking with stress. I was actually losing my voice. First squeaky high pitched, like Disney's Pluto. Then my voice would be gone for a short time. Since my stressor it's gone, haven't had this problem. It's that what you meant about diff talking, & breathing?

In answer to your question Sherry l sometimes choke when eating bread usually a sandwich, and yes it is very scary when you can't get your breath. I have been like this since l had a few mini strokes so whether that has something to do with it l don't know. Now l try to eat mindfully and sat down at the table. I think it helps. Take care, Gwynnie xx

Its ridiculous...been given drugs for one thing and end up with something else wrong with you to add to the list!!

hi there
I suffered with this kind of problem some years ago, coulden't eat anything for fear of choking, ended up eating noting but heinz tomato soup, lost weight, from13 stone down to 7st 6lb, hospital finally gave me a berium meal, and found out I was suffering with stress, didn't realize you could loose so much weight with it, even got to panic attacks, could do with a bit of it now, cause all that weight and more has come back on. hope this helps, but not sure if your suffering the same. jackie. x good luck
