Eating problems.

Does anyone experience issues with eating. Not so much trouble swallowing, which happens but is less of an issue for me. When I chew or attempt to swallow It's like it feels really tight at the pack of my head and neck. IT's hard to put into words but it's a combination of pressure, tightness and extreme weakness. Often I have to stop eating and wait for the strength to start again.

I also posted this on FB so sorry if this a repeat for some of you.

  Hi..sorry somehow I missed ur thread....

  All I can think what might be going on with u could be the fact that u r trying to do something that requires blood to circulate to get it done...like everything we do.....so when u r chewing u r working those muscles  and it is drawing or pulling blood to the area which again has limited flow as a result of the blockage...and I am sure that is y u get that feeling like u have to stop....not sure if I am explaining this the way I intended...
