What is the reason why I feel a little choked when I drink water quickly?

This must be like this, because you haven't drunk it yet and you drink it again.

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.

1.It can be a big deal with esophageal cancer. But if you just drink water and it doesn't affect you, you can rest assured for the time being.

2.It can be in the middle of epiglottitis. Epiglottitis is similar to a sore throat in that the epiglottis is responsible for covering the esophagus and trachea at different times to prevent food and water from entering the lungs. If you are prone to choking on food in addition to drinking water, you should pay attention.

3.It can be a trifling neck injury. Cervical spine displacement can compress the larynx, causing choking disorders. Some of them just don't get proper support when they wake up in the morning, and some of them are more severe, and they are usually noticed.

Half a year later, you're still alive, 1Less likely. If you have injured your neck, then 3is more likely.
