I am so frustrated with this acid reflux. It has been escalating. I can't get an appointment to see a gastro until after the holidays. I took a vitamin C small round tablet just a bit ago and it seems to be stuck. It feel like it could be down by the sterum. I just feel some radiating pain there. It's not effecting my breathing but very uncomfortable. Any one every have things get stuck or seem narrow in there with the reflux trouble?

Next time that happens, eat a piece of bread. I choked on a sugarless candy one time and the bread worked.

That has happened to me a few times and my friends thought i was crazy. I would just be taking a tylenol PM so my pain would go away and i could get some sleep, and it wouldn't go down. I drank and i ate and it wouldnt help.
I finally just had to go to bed with it in my throat stuck and in the morning it was gone. Could you taste it?

I actually had to wait about 15 mins. for it to dissolve and finally the pain was gone. It was way down in there by the sternum between the breasts. What a bad feeling.

Ugh I experienced that alot growing up,I was even afraid to swallow pills because of the feeling you would get.I remember when I was 8,I ate a chip and a peice of it was stuck in my throat.I drank 3 bottles of water and I could still feel the uncomfortable feeling heh I guess it was in my mind,but it still sucked.Years later,I get paranoid about taking medication STILL!Something you just have to live with I guess...

The possibility of getting things stuck like that is a side effect of the nissen surgery. That is why they tell us to chew, chew, chew. I've had that feeling of things being stuck several times since the surgery in Oct. It really isn't fun.
