IGNOREEEEEEEEEEEEE (:

[D_K]

So I was on my bed, eating KFC....

I could take a wild guess why you're having trouble breathing...

[1love]

Were you laying down on your bed? Don't rest on your stomach while eating.

Hmm, do you feel like there is just liquid going down the wrong tube or that feeling that something is in your throat? Is it difficult to breathe when you exhale (dyspnea on exhalation) or when you inhale or both?

[bombb_]

its possible because of the position you were in, on your belly or on your back.
maybe you ate it too fast?
idk.

[~ BunnyliciouS ~]

maybe you were choked by the cooking oil that they used to cook their chickens

that's why you should have been eating properly, eat at a table & sit on a chair.

eating in bed, so disgusting.

Also remember this, your esophagus and your trachea split in your neck area (near the adam's apple), but both tubes run along each other until about the level of the heart. What could be happening is that when you eat something on your bed is that there is no gravity to assist the food down. So what the esophagus does it has to use what we call parastaltic action (more of it) to pull the food down.

But since they do run along each other, its possible you took a large bite that caused the esophagus to expand, pushing on the trachea, making it hard to breathe. Its also possible that because of the grease of your KFC can be causing the parastaltic action to be less effective, by causing it to slip when it tries to pull down the food. It could've also caused a spasm of the esophagus muscles as well.

I'm just speculating here with what I know about anatomy and physiology (looking at dead cadavers in sectional anatomy really teaches you something)...

^ The pieces of chicken are pretty small.

I could take a wild guess why you're having trouble breathing...

Mwahaha. I know. But I want to know how it happened.

maybe you were choked by the cooking oil that they used to cook their chickens

that's why you should have eaten like a normal people, eat at a table & sit on a chair.

eating in bed, so disgusting.

Yes, because I'm a pig and my bed is comfy. But how could the oil choke me? Plus, I wasn't choking. It was just hard to breathe.

I was half-lying down, half-sitting up. On my back. But I don't think my position had anything to do with it. It's happened to me while I was sitting up properly as well.

Hmm, do you feel like there is just liquid going down the wrong tube or that feeling that something is in your throat? Is it difficult to breathe when you exhale (dyspnea on exhalation) or when you inhale or both?

Nope, not the wrong tube. Just that when I breathe, it really hurts and feels like something is suffocating me.

To be honest I don't think this is anything you have to be concerned about... if you really want you can ask your doctor next time you see him/her.

Random body quirks are actually normal... provided they don't occur consistantly or too frequently.

[soadorkable]

are you obese
stop eatting junk food

[achu]

you might want to stop eating any food whilst on the bed.
prime conditions for a choking emergency.
and it would be very embarrassing to have a paramedic take a piece of KFC out of your airway.

[mukguhim]

You're consuming your food way too fast

Take smaller, lesser food each time and chew on it for like 10 times before swallowing.

[minwoo012]

^ yars! you're probably taking really big bites... too big to swallow?

JUNK FOOD + HARD TO BREATHE... I'd say maybe its time to give up on the junk
its attempting murder...

[mini_winnie]

yea I get this even when I'm sitting upright at the table
my mum says it's cause I eat too fast lol
