Waves of Throat Pain that come and go

[jenneil]

I woke up this morning feeling dizzy and nausious. I assumed it was because I did not eat yesterday. So, I went and got some food. As soon as I started to drink a soda, my throat began to hurt. However, it wasn't like anything I have experienced before. It felt like my throat was closing and the pain was unbearable. After switching to water, pain subsided. And, it was as if I never had a sore throat. The nausea also subsided and I merely felt weak.

About 3 hours later, the pain in the throat returned along with the feeling of the throat closing. Now, only an hour later, the excrutiating pain has subsided, but I still can feel slight pain when I swallow.

This is unlike any sore throat I have ever experienced. I cannot tell if I have a fever also b/c I have no way to read my temperature.

Jenneil, please do not take offense to what I am going to say, but soda is one of the most horrible substances ever made, aside from it being completely nurtitionally valuable it contains a variety of other garbage...depending on what kinf of soda you are drinking it may contain sugar, this is a bad substance in itself unless you eat a fruit, that sugar is fine, but extracted, purified sugar is not, secondly and this is important, if you are drinking diet sodas: all of the artificial sweeteners are known to be unhealthy and dangerous and there are thousands of users who have reported numerous problems with these, I won't mention any name but just know that it's not just one or two of them, its every single one of them that are out on the market, even the new one that claims to be like sugar...that one is a bit better but still horrible.  Another huge issue is that soda is a diuretic meaning it will dehydrate you the same way alcohol will because it draws water out of your body and makes you urinate more frequently, if you are drinking a few sodas even and drinking a moderate amount of water you still may be prone to dehydration, if not definitely other hosts of problems as your body needs water for all functions of life.  Please do yourself a favor and chuck the soda, with sugar or without...and drink more water!  Hope you get better though.

I forgot to mention, the reason it hurt when you started drinking soda is because of the tiny carbon bubbles that bounce around and are hitting your throat which may possibly be already irritated due to any number of reasons, possibly it being dry from lack of water...Also waking up and feeling dizzy is another symptom of dehydration and since you didn't eat anything that didnt help either.

I thought you were dying from malaria? No, tiny carbon bubbles
are not bouncing around injuring throat tissue causing a sore throat. The person probably has an allergy to something they ate
& is still lingering. I would recommend club soda w/ lots of
bouncing carbon bubbles & add a slice of lemon to flavor.

You must have a way of reading your temperature because you
obviously have sight to read this Forum. Thermometers are cheap
or ask a friend & clean w/ alcohol. Throat tissue is sore from
a virus/allergy to something you ate/nasal drainage? You need
to soothe w/ salt water gargle & little talking to heal. If you
look in it & see white spots or something unusual, you may need
to talk to a Dr. The light-hd/nausea in a.m. can be from not
eating causing hypoglycemic effect (insulin problem) easily
fixed w/ food. Avoid irritating drinks & try tea+honey/losenges/
lo-salt cannned chicken or beef broth. You'll know when it's due
for a look-see. Gd-luck.
