A member asked:

Does the oximeter drop below healthy oxygen level if food is caught in your throat? I went to the ER today but they never scoped or did x-rays to check, but said I'm mostly fine since I can eat, drink and talk and have healthy oxygen levels?

A member asked:

Should I be concerned? I have GERD and health anxiety, went to ER, food stuck in throat feeling, no scope check, can breathe and talk and swallow, oxygen level 99. Told me mostly nothing is stuck. Is this true? Can't stop stressing in fear?
