A member asked:
Had a choking episode during which i had extreme pain under both arms and down my spine. seems some time before i could take a breath .
A doctor has provided 1 answer
What's the "?" ?: I hope the episode's passed. That the associated pain's abated and breathing's easy. Has it happened before? Do you know why it happened? Can you avoid it? Depending on your answers and more - see your provider for exam/treatment. Or, be careful and pay attention to what you're doing to be safe. At our age, falls, chocking, etc can cause sharp drops in what could be gentle aging. Best wishes!
