Katybug Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 Have you been evaluated for Chiari Malformation? That is a common symptom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raisin Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 I choke on liquids quite a bit. Comes and goes. Good days, bad days. Definitely worth a mention to your neurologist. No one ever told me why I do this but I guess that is a good thing, eh? Lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shathaway0811 Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 I have recently noticed (over the past 3-4 months) that I've been swallowing things down the wrong pipe quite frequently! I thought I was the only one to have this odd thing happen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshinegirl Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 This happens to me a lot. It started when I had a TBI, got a bit better over the years but I seem to have bad weeks or months of it. I also notice an uptake in obnoxious hiccups when it is worse than usual. I also choke on my own spit. I am careful not to drink while in a conversation or attempt to inhale right before sipping. Small sips with deliberate intention to swallow.For me, the TBI messed with my nerves that control some basic reflexes such as swallowing. The Chiari malformation does the same thing but has a different cause. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
