What Causes Swallowing And Breathing Difficulty While Vomitting?
Whenever I I vomit and it is not often, I have an issue with swallow and breathing during an episode of vomiting. I am unable to swallow unless I drink some water during a vomiting episode which I know is dangerous but its the only way I can swallow and breath again i order to vomit again during this episode. I have researched this and nothing pops up. I have asked my doctors and they do not know. I now have developed dysphagia as well recently but my questions is about the vomiting which started 2 years ago. I am afraid to vomit now in fear that I will die due to not being able to breath again. What is causing this.

Hello
first thing we must find out is why you are vomiting! there can be many reasons for this including a diverticula in your food pipe or a stricture. please meet a gastro entrologist , who will do an endoscopy on you , to find out what is going wrong and guide you further.
