It's not a variation of the MS hug is it? That sounds higher than mine, but.....I had gone to the doctor and they couldn't find a good reason for mine (it was tightness and breathing for me).

But. Tuck your chin to your chest when you swallow. It seems backwards at first, but it makes things safer and it (at least for me) has helped make the swallowing easier. Smaller amounts at once. Try not to be too distracted. It's scary....I occasionally get some swallowing problems -- choking on my own spit too regularly, and had to switch from a regular horsepill multivitamin to a gummy (not entirely happy about wasting a few of my calories on that, but I'd rather eat 1/4 less scoop of nutella than choke to death on a vitamin, lol). I also sometimes have trouble with other things, but not terribly often.

Talk to your neuro. For some of us, it's a relapse and will go away once the relapse is done, and for some it sticks around longer term. In theory, the doc could do a swallow study (even if it's a "bedside" swallow study). And sometimes they will have one start seeing a SLP for therapy, which.....I've heard can really be helpful for some people.
