When you swallow pills, do you often get them stuck in your throat?

Question

It happened to me tonight, and I just felt like asking a question about it. So...has it ever happened to you, or does it happen often? What size pill was it? I know I'm weird...

Answer 1

yeah all the time, i almost choked on my multi vitamin yesterday lol, those bloody things are huge.. im the worst person to take pills, especially powdery ones, i'll wear them down to pratically nothing before i actually swallow it, thank god for gel caps=)

Answer 2

yes when i did not have anything to drink but it was small girr and it happen every time d don't drink anything afterward  oh and being weird is awesome  

Answer 3

I have never had anything get stuck in my throat, I guess I am just gifted in that department! LMAO!!

Answer 4

It has happened to me, but I got over it pretty quick. You really got to work up some spit before you do it, esp. if no drink is to be found. GIGANTOR pill!!!

Answer 5

it doesnt happen often with me

Answer 6

It took me years to convince myself that wouldn't happen.

(When I was a kid, I used to freak out whenever I had to take pills.)

But it's never happened, anyway. I don't take very large pills, though, so I really don't know. My aunt and my dad say they get pills stuck, but I never have.

Did you have like, a panic attack or something? Ack. I would hate if that happened to me...

Answer 7

No, I swallow it with water  

Answer 8

if they're big pills.

but sometimes, even if they're small, they'll end up getting stuck in my throat, even though i'm usually able to swallow pills easily

Answer 9

It doesn't happen often because I drink water with it. Most pills go down easily for me but it has happened to me before. It's kinda weird feeling. Just drink something and hope it goes down. :)
