Default throat closing up when talking...?
i don't know what the heck to make of this... my throat has decided its a good idea to randomly close on me while i am talking sometimes.. i gag like i swallowed a drink wrong...then i go into a coughing fit and all is well again... doesn't happen that often but it is annoying as all crap..

just wondering if this has happened to anyone else? i am unsure if this is MS related or allergy.. since i am allergic to something in the air around here.. but can't get tested for it because i am on a beta-blocker..

It happens to me sometimes, too, Punk. Choking can be one of the thrills on this ride. It can also be a dozen other things. When you come out of it, do you just go on, or is there any residual effect?

Does it happen when eating or drinking? It does with me, even just swallowing, I can choke. My experience has been that it happens most often when I'm upset about something. I don't have any substantial allergies, so there's no blaming that.

Do you feel a tickle in your throat. I do this occasionally, but usually what it is is from my post nasal drip, when it gets bad. It makes my throat inflammed. Sometimes I don't feel it, but I'll do my flonase, and it stops. Other times, my throat feels like it has a tickle in it.

I think I know what you are talking about. My throat just closes up too. I breath in and I gasp. It feels like my throat collapses and when I take a breath it opens back up. This does not happen every day but it scares me.

I also have times when it is very painful to swallow and I also choke.

I had a mouth full of water yesterday and I tried to swallow. I got half of it down and the rest came shooting out of my mouth. I was glad I was standing in front of the sink.

Before my dx, several months ago. I was having trouble with swallowing. In the middle of meal, I might just not be able to finish swallowing a bite that was halfway down. I'd have to get to a bathroom fast. At the time I didn't know what was going on. Now I'm wondering if it wasn't an ms symtom. I was having some other sx going on at the time. It finally just tapered off, and hasn't bothered my since. Soooooo......I don't know......but it sounds like you are not alone, IF that is of any help! So sorry for you.

I can swallow , but have to think about it and never did before. I have to make sure I chew well and a sandwich (the bread) can make a glommy mess that's hard to swallow. I have water bottles everywhere but lately it seems to choke me more when I drink. I use straws in them now, that helps me some.

I catch myself not breathing thru my nose when I drink sometimes and gasp when I lower the glass.
