I have been choking for months now when I eat, it can be anything but tonight it was a bisquit. I had a small piece in my mouth, I felt it slide to the left of my esophagus and it felt like it was scraping. next my tube seems to close and I make a high pitched noise to try to get air in.

What Causes Persistent Choking Upon Food Intake?
Hello, Most probably it is due to conditions like severe acid reflux. We have to rule out other possible causes like neuromuscular diseases also. As a first step you can take antacids like pantoprazole for symptomatic relief. If symptoms persists better to consult a gastroenterologist and plan for an endoscopy. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
