Respiratory Diseases

For about 2weeks, I have been unable to swallow meat or any textured food. Only can eat mushed foods. Sounds weird, but it's true. I feel like I'm starving myself, because I'm hungry, but when I eat I can't swallow. I have tried and if I can swallow I feel like I'm choking on the food or something is left in my throat, like a lump. But only when I eat. Drinking is fine, just eating. I also have a lot of phlegm and spit constantly throughout the day. Any ideas what this could be?

I've suffered with a chronic cough for 30 years. Was told 30 years ago I have Vasomotor Rhinitis. Nothing seems to work or help.

Recently an allergy doctor told me he thought I had psychogenic habit cough. My further research indicates that I may have laryngeal sensory neuropathy.

Has anyone had experience with either.

Personally I think it is laryngeal sensory neuropathy. While I try to stop coughing and have been somewhat successful, I do have symptons of dry tickle, tickle in my throat, throat spasms for known and unknown reasons (irritants, etc.) I cannot tolerate tobacco smoke indoors or out of doors and have a stuffy nose a lot of times with a post nasal drip. Colognes also affect me, as do other irritants. All medications I have tried thus far, do not work. Anyone have info. or advice. Thanks much.

I had some Chinese food in a restaurant last night, and choked
on some rice. I tried to cough it out. But I'm not sure that it did
the job. I went on eating, but felt something was still in the
windpipe (don't know the medical term for this).

Even today, 16 hours later, I felt something is my windpipe (more like the lung now). I tried to cought it out a few times, but to no avail. It's probably pretty deep inside now.

I suspect it's just 1 or 2 grains of rice. I assume over time, they will just disintegrate?

Is there anything I can do? Is this serious? What pre-caution should I take? Would I be able to do some cardiovascular
exercises, such as running? I am afraid breathing in big gulp
of air will just push down the rice further into the lung?

Above all, should I be concerned about this?

Thanks.

My skin test swelled up like a mother of a mosquito bite, but the x-ray was okay and they cleared me to work.

Still, is there anything I should be watching out for or doing? Is there a chance I could put other people at risk? How likely is it that it will turn into the harmful form of TB?

I just read an article about a new drug introduced by Phifezer called "Chantix". Supposedly it helps smokers to stop smoking by working w/some receptors in the brain that trigger a craving. Has anyone tried it? What was your experience w/it? Would you recommend it? It's a little pricy at about $169 online........thanks!
