Why do i feel choking when drinking?

There are a few possible reasons why you might feel choking when drinking.

* You may be drinking too quickly. When you drink too quickly, you can swallow air along with your drink, which can cause a choking sensation.

* You may have a narrow esophagus. A narrow esophagus can make it difficult for food and drink to pass through, which can also cause a choking sensation.

* You may have a medical condition that affects your swallowing. Certain medical conditions, such as dysphagia, can make it difficult to swallow, which can lead to a choking sensation.

* You may be experiencing anxiety or stress. Anxiety and stress can sometimes cause a choking sensation, even when there is no physical obstruction to swallowing.

If you are experiencing a choking sensation when drinking, it is important to see a doctor to rule out any underlying medical conditions. In the meantime, there are a few things you can try to do to reduce the risk of choking:

* Drink slowly. Take your time when drinking and avoid gulping your drink.

* Sit up straight. When you are sitting up straight, your esophagus is in a better position to allow food and drink to pass through.

* Take small bites. When you are eating, take small bites and chew thoroughly before swallowing.

* Avoid eating and drinking at the same time. This can make it more difficult to swallow and increase the risk of choking.

* Talk to your doctor. If you are experiencing frequent choking sensations, talk to your doctor. There may be an underlying medical condition that needs to be treated.
