(insert jokes here)
yeah ive heard some people have smallish throats and are more suspectible to choking, breathing problems etc. there is actually a horrifying sounding procedure you can get to sort of 'bore out' your throat to make it wider that some people opt to get.

was it really a minute or did it just feel that long? i doubt it was longer than 30 secs with no air
yeah the thought actually crossed my mind 'this is a really stupid/pussy way to go out, choking to death on a blob of honey'.

and im not sure but i'd guess i was not breathing for at least a minute. i wasted a good amount of time just trying to force myself to cough, etc.

My dad and ncsu have both had that done. Ncsu choked on a pork sandwich at a canes game and then had to be rushed to the hospital and his throat had to be stretched out.

Yeah that **** sucked, the doc on call was at the hurricanes game and told me how epic of a game I missed - FU. I had what the doctor called a "ring muscle" around my lower esophagus that they later stretched out to break it and I had no problems for a while. Then about 2 years later same thing happens again with some piece of steak and I had to take some super expenso anti imflammatory drugs to fix it again. Its fine now, sort of. I can get stuff stuck and get it down with the help of a small amount of cooking oil or egg yolk to make it more slippery. Super uncomfortable and every time it happens all I want is to be able to swallow a sip of water. Never had any problems with it going down the wrong tube tho.

Don't bother heading to a doctor to get your throat stretched Disco, just switch it up from female to male hooker next time, and you should be good to go.

damn that really sucks man, hope the problem clears up for you. was the procedure you had to undergo real uncomfortable, or are you just anesthetized?

Most any endoscopy in the US will use anesthesia, but the procedure I had done made it really painful to swallow for a few days.

Cmon someone else do a disco meme.

I try breathing through my throat - 0% airflow. I then try my nose - 0% airflow. I try coughing - can't. I try speaking - can't. By the way, I am home alone and it's like 4 am.

After about 20 seconds I start really freaking out and I start feeling a little lightheaded. I had to keep my mind on track as I almost started wasting time thinking about wierd random stuff while asphyxiating. After more than a minute without breathing, I opened my front door and my plan was basically to bang on my neighbors door and hope that they answer before I lose consciousness. Luckily as I am about to do it, I am able to cough the slightest bit and a pinhole of air opens up in my throat. Spend the next few minutes hacking and slowly opening up my airways again - breathing never felt so good. I thought maybe I had an allergic reaction but I have never had a food allergy, and showed no signs of an allergy attack. Took a benadryl just to be safe, but it seems I simply choked on honey which is crazy. I eat honey all the time and used to eat spoonfuls of it as a kid. I still am not really sure wtf happened but the worst part was just honestly feeling like I am gonna die here alone, and they prob wont find my body for at least a day. Like if I had passed out maybe I would have never woken up.

That was probably the fourth time in my life I honestly, truly thought I was gonna die. I also choked once in highschool on a gobstopper candy. It popped right into my windpipe during economics class. I had same thought process that time - checked throat breathing - nil. nose breathing -nil. then I thought '****'. That time was like one of those creepy nightmares people have where nobody will help you. I was obviously choking and gesturing and NOBODY in class would pay any attention to me or look at me. Who ended up saving me? The fat alterna-kid who drew manga and whose parents owned a porn shop. He heimliched me and the gobstopper popped out. Kid saved my life.

Anyway I have learned
A) choking really sucks especially if youre alone
B) learn how to do the self-heimlich
C) every time I've felt I was dying I was strangely at peace and nonchalant, this weird acceptance. same thing when I almost got into a horrible car wreck, I remember feeling like 'welp, guess it's time to die, shrug' which is not what I thought I'd be feeling.

anyone else have any wierd near-death stories?
Yes. I came close to drowning when I was young (11-12 years old). I was swimming in a stream and got stuck under a pipe (the water was only 2-3 feet deep). No matter how hard I tried to push up I couldn't get my nose above water. I was facing downstream and was watch my life go downstream. I kept pushing and kicking to get free to no avail. Finally my brother saw me struggling and he put his hands underneath my neck and pulled back. After I got my first breath of air I could relax and free myself.
