Has Anyone Felt Like Their Throat Is Swollen? I Feel Like I Can’t Swallow My Food.
A MyLupusTeam Member asked a question 💭

I have been having trouble swallowing food, it feels like it’s stuck in my throat and my throat feels tight as well. Has anyone had this problem?

I also have this sometimes but thought it was just me. When I have it I take small bites and tuck my chin to swallow and drink something after every bite.

My God Daughter often has this sensation, but a recent episode while in the hospital her throat actually began to close up restricting her airway. Now she take Benadryl when the sensation doesn't pass within 15 minutes or so and she has to go to the ER.
