But wait, there's more! "Some affected individuals experience pain that is very intense" It is not just inconvenient, it can also be really, really painful.

@@InsongWhang M: That sounds great! So how to make it stuck?

@@ultimaxkom8728 Not sure. My mother has it, and honestly it seems like a fucking nightmare😬

"What if one day you swallow food and it just doesn't go down?"

There is no worse hell than aspirating stomach acid in your sleep. It's happened to me twice and I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

I've had that happen when I used to do alot of drugs and ate myself to sleep at night so if have so full stomach that I'd wake up in my sleep with acid running out of my nose. That shit isn't pleasant at all. I'm sorry u have to deal with this! My mom has issues with her flapper so same thing happens with her the acid comes back up into her mouth even if she is sitting.

How many hours before sleep is the last thing you’ve eaten?

Thank you for that

Don’t eat before sleep?

🤣🤣🤣

With unpeeled bananas too

Next video's subject 😁😁😄😄😄😄

Haha I saw that too

@@rentedbread That one ice cream was like 3 times the size of the 2 bananas lmao

how terrible!

Vile doctor, jfc

Lmao Dr. Almostfailed. That aside, I'm sorry to hear that. That's brutal. I had one attack kind of similar that felt like my sternum had a knife slowly twisting in it. Fortunate only some time and mint tea allowed it to soothe enough for me to function within about an hour or two. Can't imagine having that repeatedly. My condolences.

Lol @ Dr. Almostfailed

By MS you mean multiple sclerosis? How old are you now?

😆

Yay for you 😊🤗🤗

I hope your dad lives in europe because that sounds expensive

@@igeljaeger oddly enough, insurance fully covers it

Does it stop you from swallowing at all? Or can you swallow normally but it is just not going down the sphincter

@@-pyrosef- any food or drink you swallow will make it's way to almost the bottom of esophagus before reaching the stomach, then it stops, and has to come back up. It looked like a violent and extremely unpleasant situation to be in. Nothing helped at all until internal botox injections. My dad's condition is something like 1 in 100k or 1 in 1 million people, so it's not common in any way.

Tbf I figured that initial discomfort was from them just generally sticking stuff down my throat & not the dilation itself

Kind enough to tell how many times the procedure was needed? Do you need to do it for several times until the muscles don't tighten up anymore permanently, or only once but with medication after?

You can, just pause the short, and you should see a red bar/line at the bottom. Then you should be able to slide it.

It loops. No need to rewind.

You can open the video as a regular video

​@@AfricanLionBat how

@@AfricanLionBat Wut? Don't understand a word you said.

May I ask what did you eat when you couldn’t get down liquids, I’m afraid I have this going on with me as I was told I had pharyngitis but it’s been really bad for months I’m going to see an ent in 10 days I’m just really starting to fear food.

⁠@@LemywinxxI have it too. I understand your fear all too well. If you suspect this, do tell your doctor as it’s a rather rare condition and the test to confirm is relatively easy. As for the food, sorry to tell you there’s not many options. The way I experienced it, it was progressive. At first it felt like I was eating too fast even if eating normally (because food doesn’t go down as easy as before), all the way to not being able to keep down water. If I may suggest something, try peppermint tea as it relaxes the sphincter and might help a little. So much so that it’s commonly regarded as being bad for acid reflux, but in our case, that’s exactly what you want. Not the reflux, of course, but the relaxation of the sphincter. Also, high-calorie protein shakes and/or meal supplements. You might throw up some of it but honestly, whatever you manage to keep down is a win.

Lmfao literally how this whole channel makes, not alot is new,.but rather reminding me how FUCKING fragile life is

I have it and it sucks ass. That said, it’s rather rare at about 1 in 100,000. So while not impossible, it’s rather unlikely that you’ll have it.

always better than "a recovery' lol

@@imaramblins "At autopsy":

What is Cipro?

Yeah what is Cipro? I don't think we have that here in Finland

Ciprofloxacin, a fluoroquinolone antibiotic

​@@AbsoluteRedemption27 Its a medication that has caused a lot of people chronic side effects. It was a big fuss when it happened because the side effects seemed to affect people at random so the medical field didn't believe the individual anecdotes for a long time. Even today, when those side effects are recognized and prevented whenever possible, some new cases pop up every year.

She's one of the luckier unlucky ones, then, since she got symptoms but they went away. Some people are crippled for life by that stuff. Even worse, Social Security doesn't consider getting "floxed" to qualify someone for disability benefits even when it utterly destroys them to the point they can't even move enough to work a computer mouse.

its stuck down the esophagus, nothing to do with breathing

You don't breathe from your stomach my guy

“come here I can fix your issue😏”

Yes. Used to happen to me.

@@golf-n-gunswhat did you guys eat during these times? I’m fearing food so much I’m losing a lot of weight I’m even eating baby food😅

@@Lemywinxx Thank God it hasn't happened in a while. I believe alcohol was involved in most occurrences, but not always. Usually meat was the issue....but I may have just ate too quickly. Hard to tell. I really haven't changed any behavior. Only advice is drink water before eating and take small bites at first.

Good luck! Hope it goes/ went well!! Let us know how it went!

I had POEM done 6 months ago. Best decision of my life

@@z1mke that’s the thing I’m waiting for… still waiting lol

@@YourNeighborhoodCaat thanks, hopefully not too much longer now 🤞

​@@z1mkeI'm having POEM next week.

Bro this is sounding like my anxiety if I’m worried about getting pain from anxiety I get that pain lol.

Go see a doctor

@@lunarkomet I have. They set up a swallow test. I waited 4 months, they called me and said they are full up and I'll have to wait longer. That was like 6 months ago. To tell you the truth I haven't had a lot of good interactions with doctors. I was literally sent away told I coughed too hard when I had a fever of 105, pneumonia and a lung filled with fluid. I've been dealing with a lot of medical problems and they haven't done anything for me really. In the process of changing my primary.

​@@Gatorade69 i have the Same experience With doctors. Some are Some Real bastarde

@@Gatorade69 I hope you can find a better one, I've been there and it's rough. Feels like there's a lot more bad doctors than good ones

@@jessep4460 Like I seriously have like 50/50. I have met some really great doctors and some bot so great ones. My health has been In a downward spiral since I got bit by a tick and my primary just doesn't care, he tested me once and it came back inconclusive but he says It's negative, from what I have read the Lyme test isn't very reliable. I've been dealing with headaches now since November and have gone to the doctors 3 times and they don't do anything... Like I don't know what to do, I'm just in constant pain. Last doctor literally just prescribed me muscle relaxers cause my neck was super stiff (along with the headaches) and told me to take Ibuprofen. I'm at a loss.

Did he have to change his diet? What foods are recommend?

Your husband would have food leak out of him while sleeping and you had to CONVINCE him to go to a doctor?? What would need to happen for him to go on his own?

Lol I know right? It kind of gradually got worse over a few years, so at first he thought it was reflux, but with achalasia, there isn’t usually bile in the back up. It would leak more if he drank his protein drink or something at night a few times. It wasn’t always a daily thing, since he sometimes was able to wash everything down with gulping some water. Now he sometimes has moments where food will be a bit stuck or slow going down, and it will just seem kind of like he has a bit of a hiccup or burp, but then it will go down. He can actually eat pretty much anything he wants now, but with surgery it was liquids only for 2 weeks which sucked. Some have it way worse though. Not sure what others experiences are.

Heds could cause a vague nerve issue. Do you have cervical instability

@@johnhank6721 got checked for cranial instability and fortunately it wasn't the case. I got diagnosed with achalasia again, didn't have swallowing issues last time I had achalasia symptoms but 7 years later it progressed. Will get surgery soon.

@@johnhank6721 but still would like to get to know the cause of my achalasia since I still think it's nerve related and they never did anything with contrast

yup. i’ve got this. it doesn’t close properly due to my faulty connective tissues and my throat has been so messed up from it. i’ve got a deeper voice, i was always in pain, damaged by teeth, had a bad taste in my mouth etc. the pain is horrible. the burning never stops

Same here with my Marfan's, it's horrible

This is exactly what it was like for me too. Get POEM or Heller Myotomy surgery if you haven't already. The balloon thing in this video is an old treatment, and Botox is a temporary solution. I got POEM about 2 months ago and it's life changing.

This used to happen to me frequently when I was younger. Now, not so much. Like you said, you can feel it coming.

Eyy I have both, pretty sure both are vagus nerve related

me too! How do you cope? I heard there's no cure 😢

Jōj is presenting to the hospital with 30 bullet wounds and 26 stab wounds. Upon autopsy, it was recorded that he had been shot with an M4A1 and then stabbed to death with an M9 bayonet.

@@literal_f22 at last

same thing happens to me with rice, I always have to either drink first or eat something else before i can eat the rice then takes sips after each bite.

My hubby has achalasia. Whatever is regurgitated will not be acidic, because it does not reach the stomach, it piles up beforehand and he sometimes would be able to wash it all down with hard swallows of water, but has since had surgery to cut the sphincter muscle to relax it a bit.

Acalashia is diagnosed with a barium swallow & xray and a manometry study.
