Question: W as eating very spicy chinese food last night. Got ahold of an extremely spicy pepper or something. After ingesting it, felt like my esophagus closed up entirely. Could not breathe in or out for about 15 seconds then started to wheeze. Then little by little the air passage opened up. Extremely frightened. Is this a food allergy? And could this be fatal if done again?
Brief Answer:
Neither food allergy nor fatal if done again
Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir,
I have gone through your query and medical history, it suggests that this condition neither food allergy nor fatal if done again and it also suggests that you may be suffering from the oesophagigitis.
If you want relief from this condition then avoid spicy foods, hard foods, acidic foods and alcohol and tobacco.
Medications that block acid production such as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) or H2 blockers, like omeprazole or Ranitidine will help.
Eat 5 or 6 smaller meals during the day instead of larger ones.
Eat soft foods, such as puddings, applesauce, soups, and custards.
Take small bites of food and chew thoroughly before trying to swallow.
If you have any doubt, I will be available for your query.
Wishing you speedy recovery.
Regards
