yes it's true some who are under stress or who have had a problem with choking on food in the past sometimes experience problems with swallowing. it's very much like developing a phobia. first something frightening or painful happens and this sets up a situation for fear in the future. then it becomes a self-fulfilling prophesy. you eat you're afraid you'll choke and then you have problems swallowing. the more it happens the stronger the fear is reinforced. for some people it amounts to a situation where they can only swallow liquids. i suggest that you look for a licensed certified biofeedback specialist who can work with you on this.
could stress be causing my problem of choking when i eat?
