It seems when I am out to dinner with friends and talking and eating , usually the first bite gets stuck in my throat and I can not get it down. I usually will start hiccuping and end up excusing my self and throwing up. It doesn't happen every time I eat , just sometime. I am an 80 year old female. Seems this has been a problem for several years and happens more frequently now.
Very irritating and embaresing .
It doesn't matter what type of food but happens more often with a bite of meat. I have no heart burn or etc.
