It was September 9th jus before my birthday when I was eating a hot pocket for dinner. And I waited for my food to cook off then I took small bites and even ate slow, but somehow it went down wrong and got stuck. I didnt worry cause it happened before about 3 yrs ago but with a burrito instead which went away after a month but it scratched my throat. Even those days were a living hell cause they believed that I didn't have anything in my throat and been going back forth to the hospital but they wouldn't let me have a X ray they sent me home with some medicine for pain. So I took the medicine in hope that it would work which it did then this hot pocket situation came last ur on the 9th of September. I thought it was the same like when I got the burrito stuck but it was different. After I told my mom about it getting stuck I laid down on my bed then suddenly my heart started beating fast outta nowhere . I'm not gonna lie that scared me a lil, but I tried to calm myself so it wouldn't happen or make things worse. So then the next morning my mom went to buy me some tomatoes soup so I can at least have some thing to eat since my throat was killing me. When I was drinkin my tomato soup I began to feel my heart race again and pain in my chest and stomach. I stopped drinking it I don't know why that happened but I have drunk it before with no problems. Then it's been 1 month later I began to lose weight I use to weigh about 145 lbs so I was a little chubby but not bad. I ended up having a lot of bloating, stomach pain, headaches, chest pain, burning in chest and throat, tight throat and had food limited cause I had difficulty swallowing it. Then I found remedies that's supposed to loosen the food like swallowing a teaspoon of honey I was fine on the 1st spoon of it. Then I did it again about maybe 8hrs later then that's when I felt shifting but I couldn't breathe too well. My body kept heating up on its own when I'm cold or viscera. I was shivering when my room is warm, my heart raced then slowed to the point it stopped beating a second or two then started back up I felt horrible. None of the symptoms stopped and happened randomly and more frequently. I even had other symptoms like not being able to sleep, vomiting food (liquids since I can't eat solids)and blood, numbness, sharp pains everywhere in body, etc. I went back and forth to av hospital but they gave me a X ray 1 Dr said theres something located about the vocal chords but he gave me meds and discharged me. I took the medicine that were pills I couldn't swallow so I dissolved it with water since the pharmacist said it would be OK. I got no better and I felt worse I been to them so many times to count and lost a great deal of weight and I know they noticed but they refused to help me and they still didn't believe that it could be in my wind pipe. Then later when I was trying for eat it went down wrong and I felt like I had to puke but it was stuck and I could feel my whole stomach and intestines swell with pressure so I tried to avoid having an ambulance bill so I went on the bus to go to hospital. Then my arm and whole body went numb and twisted itself up as I struggled to catch a breathe of air. My felt as it was being crushed
and was rushed to hospital thru ambulance. When I finally puked up white foam and they still didn't bother to help me at the hospital. They prescribed zolphran which I been took but it's not working it made me very sick I told him about earlier. He claimed that it was normal. Then I made an appointment with primary care they sent a referral for a specialist for gi then they sent me home after talking then they put in a referral for upper endoscopy which didn't go thru so they did another but none happened for a month then they tried again.. Then I received 1. I went to the appointment I weighed only 103lbs and I'm 20 years old 5'5 and female. I got my endoscopy done in Feb. Then waited til this month when I got results they didn't know what's wrong with me. I jus know that I have a hiatal hernia n a swollen esophagus. They assumed I have Celiac disease but I don't drink that's possible cuz I don't have all symptoms. Now I gotta wait til next month to talk to clinic to get referral for barium swallow. And now I can't eat my ice cream and yogurt cause it's not goin down right.. And I lost more weight I'm now 101, I'm feeling horrible and very hungry but no one cares to help. I think they don't wanna help me cause of my race. I need help. I've been suffering since September of last ur before my birthday and all I want to do is suicide.

Sounds like your going to have to first work on your diet Silent22333. Eating tomato soup will aggravate your acid reflux. If your not able to keep solid foods down I would recommend that you first focus on what you can drink such as different types of teas to try and smooth out your stomach such as ginger tea, green decaf tea or Chamomile tea which are all good for the digestive system. You might be able to get away with eating oatmeal if its in porch form. That's how I eat mines, more liquid then solid so its almost like I am drinking it. I understand how you feel and your struggle with it. This has been happening to me for the past 2 - 3 weeks now. It's been on and off for me for about 5 - 6 years and I am having an on moment with it.

I know but my diet wasn't the issue I got worse out of nowhere I was able to eat things that had tomato in it. It started acting strange when food got stuck in my throat some how. Plus I do drink green tea, and oatmeal and or healthy things. But my body won't allow them it would make my chest flutter and make it difficult to breathe. I also swallow it wrong. I been to the hospital so many times but they didn't care. I think the food is in my windpipe cause I b feeling shifting plus I had an endoscopy they said I have a hiatal hernia and inflammation in the esophagus and diagnosed me with Celiac disease but I don't think I have but I'm scheduled for barium swallow next month but I'm terrified cause I read if I aspirate it I can die...
