Answer 1

Ok, my husband used to do this all the time, and when he was a kid his Mom took him to the doctor and they looked at the thing under your tongue that is connected to the part under your tongue and it was making his tongue too short, which was causing him to choke.  They clipped it and he never had a problem with choking since.  Now when my first son was born and I took him in to get circumcised, they clipped his tongue also because he said it would cause choking problems later on if he didn't.  My first son is from a previous marriage, so that had no connection with my current husband.  Anyway, I would get that thingy checked!  In the mean time, go very slow with eating.  One of my worst fears is choking.  Be safe!!
