Hi.....my name is Lisa, I am 40 years old and for the past 2 years I have been getting strangled very easily when eating or drinking. It doesn't happen a lot......maybe twice a month but I start coughing and it takes forever for me to quit! I can hardly catch my breath!!
We were eating out at a restaurant one time and I had someone ask me if I needed help I was coughing so bad!!
I got strangled again tonight ( I took a bite of a soft cookie) and I was able to take a sip of tea in between coughs, and started coughing again and I actually threw up a little bit in the floor!!!
My question is......is this something I need to run by my PCP when I see her again in August? Or am I making a mountain out of a mole hill? I have been diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder for which I take....Abillify, Zoloft, Topamax & Klonopin.....I also have Fibromyalgia for which I take Elavil 10 mg every night at bedtime.....I am also on 2 other meds for FM but I only take them PRN and haven't taken them but once or twice since I was prescribed them in March of this year!!
Thank you sooooo much in advance for any replies!!
Lisa
