People occasionally have a feeling of difficulty in swallowing or like something being stuck in the throat. When this happens, it is a matter of seconds? It feels like breath getting stopped until one succeeds in clearing the choking. Recently one of my relatives died because of food having stuck up probably in wind pipe. How can this be explained? People start swallowing right from the birth and continue it till death without having the least clue that this could anytime be fatal. What are the causes and possible remedies?
