Coughing/choking after eating.

[User473738162837374332]

Posting as not sure if this is something I should be concerned about.

about 3/4 weeks ago I got a nasty chest infection. Never had one before and I felt the most ill I’ve ever been. Ended up on antibiotics and felt much better.

I still have a slight lingering cough but not that much and manageable, I still bring up mucus, but I don’t cough at night.

however, what is concerning me is that a few times recently immediately after eating I get a coughing fit and I feel like I’m choking and can’t catch my breath. It sends me into panic as I generally feel like I can’t breathe. It doesn’t last for long but it is scary

anyone know how I can prevent this?

it is after meals rather than snacks usually.

First off, go back to your GP. Possibly check out EOE on line as it might be that?

I had this earlier in the year OP. Nasty chest infection, sometimes sick from coughing. Had the same after eating too. I put it down to acid reflux. Could be that? . In my case it ended up being asthma. Defo get it checked. Hope you feel better soon .
