I was eating green beans and suddenly i hickupped causing me to breath in i think its possible some went down my lung but i'm not sure it didnt cause me to choke but i dont know has me a bit worried?

Most likely, the green bean was swallowed. Watch for shortness of breath, signs of infection and wheezing/persistent cough. A COVID-19 vaccine and Flu vaccination is recommended.

It is highly unlikely that you inhaled the vegetable. Had some gone into your lungs you would have been coughing. No need to worry. Wish you good health!
