A member asked:

When i eat or drink certain things i have trouble swallowing the problem is rapid swallowing that makes it hard to catch my breath and lasts a while?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hard to tell.: This is difficult to diagnose with telemedicine. I would suggest having a swallow study done to further evaluate what is going on.

Hi, when i sneeze immediately after the sneeze every time i try to swallow i sneeze again. This has been happening for about 9 months now. It does subside after a few minutes, but it's kinda scary when you can't swallow, and it's hard to catch your breath
