Hello everyone, My name is ashly (MR) and about three weeks ago wed I was at a Pizzs hut and ate some of the buffet pizza. hard thin crust, This is the first time i have ever been to a pizza hut might i ad. So I was eating the slice and then swallowed. I knew right away when i felt it trying to go down.. ouch, to say the least and tried to drink something finally it went away, but I felt it still in my chest. Later on that evening I was at my girls house and couldnt eat. I was so scared. I knew something was wrong. had some tea and the stuck feeling went away. so after that i just couldnt eat anymore. picking on things here and there. finally went to the ER casue my heart was racing and even if i rolled over in bed it would race and ound out of my chest. my throat is finally healing, and its kind of like a popping when i swallow sometimes.but never the less much better than it was. I gave myself such anxiety that my whole life is changed, controlled if you will, by this.... panic. And now everynight i awake to my heart racing, not too bad but fast enough to where it takes me out of a deep sleep and i just cant get back to bed after that. i try eating and that works sometimes. just before i go to bed ill take a teaspoon of maalox. which stopped the burning. why didnt the doctors take xrays or even look at my throat? someone help me. i just cant take it anymore.
 
you probabley just scratched your throat with the pizza crust. Once doctors look down your throat they can tell if something is in there, or its inflamed, etc. Thats probabley why they didn't warrant an xray.

It sounRAB more like you had a panic attack than anything else. Did they give you anything to calm you down? Get you out of the panic?
 
No nothing like that. see also I really dont want any drugs. But after all of this has been going on I really just cant stand it anymore. It does feel like something is scratched but also in my chest too behind my breast plate. I lost so much weight since this has happened. I wonder if that has anything to do with my heart beating rapidly and breathing fast. wakes me out of a deep sleep, every night. i even thought i would eat some cereal at 9 30 last night to see if its the lack of food. but still 3 am im up its racing and i cant get back to bed i just lay there completely aware of my heart. trying everything to slow it down. I understand its nothing too serious or else i would not be able to go on or breathe for that matter. and my ears are ringing all the time now even more than usual. if its stress then i should go on something. this is no way to live! i just cant do it anymore. im eating though. so thats a good thing. heart rate one hour after i eat is 68-75 but i can still feel it beating hard. and sometimes it would happen two hours after ingestion. what the heck is happening?
