What Causes Choking Sensation While Eating?
Hello. For the past few days, I ve felt like I m going to choke every time I eat something. I haven t actually choked on anything for 5 or 6 years. Starting tonight, I ve felt like I m going to choke even when I m not eating anything. It may have to do with my braces (I got a new bottom wire on Friday). On Friday night, some pizza crust got stuck in my throat, and right now, there s a tomato skin down there. If this is of any use, I m also a hypochondriac and have social anxiety and OCD. Is there something serious going on, or am I just being paranoid and it ll clear up in a few days?

Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
As such, chocking can be seen in neurological disorders affecting the vocal cards.
you need to undergo laryngoscoyp procedure (to see vocal cards for palsy).
Kindly visit an ent surgeon.
