It has to do with the esophagus in the throat. I'm 95% sure this is what i got. Swallowing food is now a task 
Getting old sucks. Just wanted to ask if anyone has dealt with this whether it be you or a family member? I made an appt to see doctor but wondered if anyone could offer advice while waiting weeks to see Dr.

sucking too much dick gave you throat aids

You can’t just deep throat like you see guys do on the internet. They work up to that. People see the end result and think everyone can do it. It’s like those guys who eat 45 hotdogs. You can’t just wake up and do it.

I've actually had something like it but never really had it diagnosed. 3 surgeries under general anesthesia within the last 12 years to remove impacted food that simply would not pass. Further - and this hasn't been fun - I've "choked" dozens and dozens of times where the food would dislodge but felt just like the total food dam. Of those, there have been 6-8 times when forcing the swallow felt like the food was a bullet and hit my lung or some such. I would instantly start to sweat. I would start to become disoriented and forget where I was, who I was and even if I were conscious. Each time, someone called an ambulance or take me to the ER and tell them this is has happened before. To check my blood sugar. I've had it as low as 14 before just after this "choking bullet". Felt like a coma with my eyes open. I could hear people but could not respond to anything.
Sorry so long but I'll say this. Watch your brisket, roast and rice. That shite will clog with the quickness. Chew well and swallow a bite before taking another. It's annoying as shite and you'll be the last to finish a plate from now on.

See what doc says: It could be anything On the spectrum from “it’s all in your head” to “your fricked welcome to the ALS community”.

Yep. Diagnosed in my 20s and the docs couldn’t believe it. I had a myotomy to fix the problems and have been pretty good ever since. As long as I have drink with my food and chew halfway decent, I’m trouble free.

I've had achalasia for 15+ years.
I had a heller's myotomy about 10 years ago, which helped for a while, but the symptoms returned pretty bad in the past year.
I am looking into a POEM surgery later this years.
It sucks, man. Sorry you are going through it.

Achalasia
Have you actually been diagnosed with this or are you just WebMDing it?
I only ask because there's other gastrointestinal issues that can cause trouble swallowing. I've had dysphagia before from where acid reflux caused an esophageal stricture. If it flares up and my esophagus gets irritated (esophagitis), I can get that "stuck" feeling in my chest and pain when swallowing. I typically double up on my antacid, try to eat low acid/soft foods for about a week or so until it calms down.

Mom had it and had a surgery to fix it. For a while she was on a liquid diet.

OP -- this is good advice. Dysphagia has many causes, but achalasia is rare. Take it a step at a time.
