Thanks to all of you for responding. I've been gone this afternoon, but I might call the pcp to start out to see what she thinks i should do.
I choke on so many different things...I had a major choking incident this last July when I inhaled a small spoonful of frozen yogurt. Couldn't even talk for awhile...I have problems with spicy food, drinks, lots of things. I vowed to myself last night to eat more slowly and really pay attention, but it's hard when you're enjoying the food and the company. Boo on this!!
Thanks again for the advice, and the concern. You're all great!
