Sometimes if I get really, really drunk, I have to, like, really THINK about chewing and swallowing. It's... weird.

I have a similar issue. I don't have an issue swallowing food but I keep swallowing all the time as it feels like something is in my throat.

If people are mentioning stretching the esophagus, maybe its posture. Maybe try stretching your head all the way back & neck up.

Just me personally. I'd still go to the doctor.

There was a boy named BM, from stoneberry hollow.
He posts way too much, and now he can't swallow.
Many his friends, say soon he'll be dead.
But really their sad, cause he can't give them . . .

Er . . .

Nevermind.

Good pome though :)

Seriously - not being able to swallow is bad. Go see a doc.

It's not posture. It's probably just God trying to immaculately rape someone again.

but it's so embarrassing to go to a doctor

Well, you just need to shift the paradigm here.

Go in and ask for a prostate exam. Once the doctor gets a couple of digits in, casually mention that you are having problems swallowing. I guarantee it will seem easy at that point.

I think the problem is that brianmanahan was always getting a prostate exam regardless of what he was going in for.

"Doc I've been sneezing a lot and my nose is running"
"Hmmm...could be your prostate. Take off your clothes and bend over"

i just had problems swallowing a baby carrot :colbert:

This sounds like juicy gossip. So which ATOT'er did you give that nickname too?

haha I'm still not convinced the OP isn't trolling. Quite frankly I find this whole thread hard to swallow.

I had the same issue about 4 years ago...saw a couple doctors, spent $1000 and they couldn't find anything wrong...I would constantly "snort" to try an clear the food particle....oddly enough, I don't get food stuck in my throat anymore but now I can't stop snorting.... :/

go see a doc and at least get a scope done
