Stuck in throat?!
Question: It's happened twice now this past week. I haven't had anything like this before, except a long time ago as a child and then it only lasted a minute or less.
When I take my vitamin, I can feel it go down my throat and then it feels as though it is lodged at the base of my throat. I drink lots of water and each time I swallow I can still feel it. I forget how long it lasted last time, but this time it's been at least 15 minutes.
Any suggestions what would cause this?
Thanks

I hate that feeling. Large pill or maybe didn't swallow it quite right. It'll pass, but it's damned uncomfortable.
I'm sure it went down and isn't stuck, but it probably caused some irritation on the way down.
i had problems to, its either allegies or sore throat
actually sometimes it happens to me too. don't think about it while takin the vitamin, and even drink more water after(not just after the vitamin). Or to make it feel better u can, eat like some fruit to try to get that feelin away^^
If it's a large pill, it's probably just harder to swallow. Try eating something like yogurt, or pudding, or maybe ice cream after you take it.. It may help the medicine go down better. Good luck.
i would try maybe cutting the pill in half. maybe its a bit too big. and then afterwards eat a little something.
I find if I try to relax and put the tablets as far back as I can, then take a HUGE gulp of water with them, and several times immediately after taking them, it seems to help....Other than that have you tried to crush them and swallow them with honey or juice?
Good luck with it.
drink at least 8 oz of water.... should push it all the way down
Your throat muscle usually pushes it down, so unless there's an injury there...
Take a big bite out of bread, don't chew, and swallow it down with a cup of water.
after you take the pill eat some bread
