Hi, I am a 28 year old female with no known medical problems. I am not on any medication. I am a smoker and have been for 16 years and I am also over weight. This started about a year ago and in the last few monthes has gotton worse. I cant seem to eat meat or bread with out chocking, I have perfected the self hymlik because now it seems that whatever I eat unless in verry small protions I cant seem to get down. Its like it gets stuck not in my troat but at the bottom of the neck. I have stoped eating meat all togeather for fear of chocking to death. I don't have the money to go to the doctor but I was wondering if anyone knew what could cause this. I don't know if this is any way related to the above issue but I am also very tired all the time and seem to be Short of breath when I do eat or do anything at all some days I don't even have the energy to get out of bed. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
