Some please explain...

how can I get stuck on food yet still be able to eat or drink without pb or slime?

This has happened to me about 4 times. Chicken, tuna salad, fish cakes and now (I think) some beans in a soup.

I am eating small bites, chewing like cow with cud (and just as attractive), putting my fork down and and and.

Suddenly I feel like I inhaled a little water after swimming, a small piece of whatever that I can feel move around if I burp, cough or just sit on my butt. It feels like it is trying to go down or up.

But it is not blocking it, I can drink hot or cold, I can gulp water, I can eat. All that goes down. Yet that little piece of whatever is still stuck with that pressing feeling in my sternum and drives me crazy.

I have tried everything to make it move but cannot. It eventually goes down (I guess since I don't bring it up). Sometimes after 3 days! I go to sleep and notice the feeling isn't there in the morning. Or I go about my day and suddenly notice the feeling is gone.

How and why do other things go around it? Shouldn't it be blocking other stuff?

Do you all now what I'm talking about?

I do know what you are talking about but mine doesn't last that long. I try to make it go down with fluid or another small bite. If that goes down well it usually takes the lump as well. Good luck I hope it doesn't happen too much, it just doesn't feel right. I totally understand.

Thanks! I wish it would go down with a big ole gulp but there it sits.
I almost (not quite but almost) wish I would just pb it up already.

Don't know how to erase a thread I started or even if I can. But I moved this over to the Frustrations board. So ignore this one. The question is about a frustrating situation, so I put it where it belongs and might get more responses.
thanks!
