Scary Experience - Choked on pill

[Tater 0]

So I guess I had a sort-of PB experience yesterday (my first). It was very scary. I'm not even sure it was a PB, I might have just actually choked.

However I DID have a fill the day before, so I'm guessing that might have been it. The stupid thing is that it was a TINY pill.

I'm guessing it went down, got stuck and then tried to come back up. Except that it came back up in to my throat and got stuck there. I managed to throw some of it up, but most of it just stayed there burning my throat.

I called the doctor in a panic and they told me to drink hot Water to dissolve it. It was some of the worst pain I've ever had - all I could do was pace around the kitchen crying and choking until it finally felt like it was gone.

Even after that I was in terrible pain all day. I literally have no voice and my throat is too sore to have anything but liquids and popsicles.

Has anyone ever had this happen to them? It REALLY sucks!

I've never choked with a pb. Maybe just me.

Yes, and it hurts like hell.

Ah, I'm talking only a pb. For me it's from drinking or eating too fast. Nothing stuck is involved. Might be a difference.

My Dr told me that you should only take pills that is small like a M&M or smaller and cut in half the ones that are bigger..

Yikes! I am sorry that happened. I don't have any technical advice so I wanted to give you some empathy.
