About 6 weeks ago I choked on a piece of pizza, i called 911 and went to the hospital the nurses and doctor kept telling me that if I was choking I wouldn't be able to breath or talk. They let me sit there for three hourss. I thought I was going to die. They finally did an ex-ray and could see the pizza in my throught. They put me to sleep and put a scope down my esophogus and said that they fouund nothing and it must have finally gone down by itself. I went back two days later still choking and they did nothing...treated me like I was crazy..i went to a diffent hospitala and they ran all kinds of tests on and determined it was anxiety. About two weeks it happened again I went back to the hospital...i was trying to throw up but i couldn't ...i could feel something in my throat, all of a suddenty i tasted that damnpizza an i coughed and coughed and finally got it up. I tried to show the nurse and tell her about it and she told me nothing came up, that it was spit. Today I have a piece of biscuit in my throat, im not going to the hospital cause they treat me like im crazy..i am so scared, i am going to choke to death and nobody will listen, has anybody ever heard of anything like this, im not crazy ...please help.
According to The American Heart Association, if one can still speak, then their are actually not choking yet. They have to get your consent to react. Unless you actually say, "Help Me, Help Me!!" People don't always know what to do, or what is wrong. Usually when you choke, you have the inability to speak, and then may pass out too. Then hope a "Good Sammy" is around the corner to dive in and save ya. You do realize some people are too afraid to do Anything Anymore, due to Lawsuits.....
