Have you ever choked on something and it feels like you sucked the food down in your lung? I did this and my..

I remember a girl in the news who ended up inhaling a piece of the X'nas tree and ended up getting a horrid asthma attack.  For years she lived with it until she was operated on about 10 years later.  After extracting the snall twig the leaf parts still had chlorophyll in it.

what concerns me is the "lump" that you feel in your throat, it could be obstructing your upper airway, so you try to breathe in harder -- and your chest feels tight because of too much negative force exerted when inhaling. \n\nwhen you talk, does it sound "muffled"? have you had any fever recently? that "lump" you feel in your throat, does it hurt?\nthis kind of symptom sounds like something that we would see on a 3-year-old child with epiglottis -- but since you're already using the internet, im guessing that you're already an adult or a teenager, (which epiglottitis is not common among). you should definitely have that checked out. speak to your physician, and let him/her know about your breathing problems as well. he/she should be able to recommend some tests done to you.

It depends on the situation, but it could be that the swallow reflex is bad.  Sending something down the throat could cause it to go into the lungs, rather than the digestive system.\n\nA feeding tube (there are many types) simply bypasses this danger.

I pinch my nostrils closed, with my mouth closed of course, and try to exhale through my nose. Not hard though, not like you're trying to blow your nose.

Most likey, you used to breath through your nose and now you breath through your mouth.  Have you had a cold recently?  Allergies?  Your nose might be stuffed up, causing you to breath through your mouth.

He heh, that made me laugh. Good question! I don't know, but I guess that the air has to go somewhere! I do know that swallowing too much air can make you feel bloated, so I would suppose it only has two ways to go, either as a burp or a fart!

Sounds like you may have eaten some gas-causing foods.

I started to answer this question, then I gagged.

Not for possitive but a friend told me that they are life savers because if you swallow one whole you can still breathe instead of choking bc of the hole inb the middle.

OK this is TRUE...  My mother, wanting to get alittle healthier as she ages, decided to take some "wheat grass" for its nutrients.  It comes in a green, rather powdery form that you should mix with some water and drink it down.  Well she didn't mix it with water and instead took a tablespoon and tried swallowing it plain.\n\nShe must of taken a little breath and then began to choke but didnt want to waste this expensive nutrient so she tried to hold it in and get it down.  Well she ended up coughing while still trying to hold the wheat grass in, she shot out puffs of green numerous times.  She looked like a dragon trying to use its power for the first time.  We almost died laughing at this sight!  Wish you could of been there!!  Her new nickname is "Puff the magic dragon" or just "Puff" for short!

Air is forced out of your lung through your nose suddenly.

defenatly take someone with you.  i've told this to someone else in another question, but i stand by it, chew gum.  it sounds weird but doing something with your mouth is calming.  don't look at the needle whatever you do.  focus on something on the wall.  theres usually a poster in the room.  read that.  i really hope everything goes well and don't forget to breath.

Yes! and Now NO!\nNot any more, there is now a small hole left in the top through which you can breath if swallowed.\nThere were deaths prior to this, with children swallowing the tops they wedge in the throat and choke.

My gag reflex used to be really sensitive, and I love doing....a certain thing we won't mention for my guy. It took a while, but slowly it went farther and farther away, and now I can barely feel it at all, if you know what I mean ;). It just takes time.
