Does anyone experience windpipe or swallowing issues with COPD?
Does the following problem come from COPD? Or is it separate? More and more often recently, stuff seems to slip into my windpipe when I swallow, especially liquids but sometimes solids as well, and I have to cough vigorously in an effort to clear it in a typically unsuccessful effort bring it up.
Oh yes it happens to me just about everyday. However, lately I have found out that if I take smaller bites or smaller amounts of liquid (coffee etc.) I don't get choked as often. It is a new learning thingy for me I guess. I just have to learn a new way to eat and drink anything. I end up coughing so, hard It burns and I am afraid I might burst an ear drum the pressure in my head is so, bad. Then i am to tired to finish eating.
