Why do I sometimes get choked when I drink water?

1. The shape of the food is too large.

2. Insufficient chewing, and getting stuck in the esophagus when swallowing.

3. While eating, actions such as laughing, talking, walking or running, etc., cause food to enter the trachea.

4. Adopt a strange posture when eating.

5. Ignorant children put foreign objects such as small accessories of toys in their mouths and swallow them after playing.

Because the user is in too much of a hurry to eat, it leads to choking.

Because the throat is a fork in the mouth, it leads to the mouth and nasal passages, and down to the esophagus and trachea. There is a piece of cartilage in the middle called the epiglottis, which is like the lid of the organ, and the epiglottis opens when you speak and breathe, and closes when you eat or drink.

Users should keep their emotions stable, should not be nervous and excited, so as not to enhance the feeling of suffocation, drink some water, and at the same time pat the back vigorously to see if they can swallow the choked food.

1. The reason for choking on food

2. Precautions when eating.

If you choke on eating, you must have eaten too quickly or were distracted while eating, so try not to focus on two things while eating.

It is because you eat too fast and there is no way to chew the food, which will lead to this situation, which may be due to poor eating habits.

It's that he eats too fast, and he swallows it without chewing it properly, which is quite normal.

Some people say that they choke on their backs and drink water, although it is a joke, but the fact is that it is possible to choke on drinking water. But what is the reason why we bought a glass of water to prevent choking? Actually, these are two different situations.

Eating a large amount of food at the same time will occupy most of the space of the esophagus, so that the pressure of the food on the wall of the esophagus increases, so that things can not enter the stomach cavity along the esophagus normally, resulting in choking. For the fixed pipe structure of the esophagus, there is no accumulation of sediment that can not hinder the progress of the water flow, so it can be basically ruled out that there is a blockage of the esophagus, in fact, the choking is caused by the epiglottis cartilage (from the empirical point of view, the choking part is not the esophagus), for some reason, the epiglottis cartilage can not perform the original function normally, when drinking water, the epiglottis cartilage does not normally lift to cover the trachea, and the entrance of things into the esophagus is narrowed, The narrowing of the entrance to the passage causes the flow of water to flow normally into the esophagus when you take small sips of water, because when the water enters the esophagus, the flow is smaller, leaving room for the gas to drain out and the air pressure is balanced. When the water flow is very strong, the water suddenly blocks the inlet, and if you want to swallow the water, you have to overcome the air pressure barrier in the esophagus.

That is, choking. So, it's your epiglottis cartilage that's wrong, but it's generally fine, and it'll be fine after a while. The above is a speculation from personal experience.

There is too much food and too much dry, and the secretions in the mouth are not enough to help swallow, so as long as you drink liquid food or eat with juice, you will not choke.

Because you swallowed it so fast, you couldn't keep up with the peristalsis of your esophagus, so you choked.

That's because you can't swallow it all at once.

What should I do if I choke on food? Many people think that they need to drink water if they choke, but this will only cause choking, and in severe cases, suffocation. In case of choking, use the Heimlich maneuver immediately, and do not force the swallowing of a sharp object when it gets stuck.

The Heimlich maneuver is also known as the abdominal percussion method: the impact on the abdomen is used to generate an upward force to expel the foreign body blocking the airway and save the person. The first aid person stands behind the patient and has the patient split their legs, and the first aid person places the two legs lunges back and forth under the patient's crotch.

Make a fist with one hand and press the center of the fist inward between the lower edge of the victim's ribs and the navel; The other hand clenched into a fist and the hands slammed upwards with rapid force until the blockage was spat out.

Of course, to prevent food and foreign bodies from getting stuck in the throat during eating, you should pay attention to the following: Cut food into thin pieces. Chew thoroughly. When you have food in your mouth, you should avoid laughing, talking, walking, or running. Children are not allowed to put small toys in their mouths.
