What’s wrong with choking on water?

Drinking water always choking may be related to drinking water too fast, swallowing disorders, esophageal stenosis and other factors, which need to be specifically analyzed. 1. Drinking water too fast: if the patient drinks water too fast, without paying attention to the frequency, it is easy to have the difficulty to get out of the air during swallowing, which may lead to the patient’s choking on water. 2. Swallowing disorder: it may be caused by nerve problems such as bulbar palsy, pseudobulbar palsy, etc. This kind of nerve damage will cause swallowing difficulty and choking on drinking water, so the patient always chokes when drinking water. 3. Esophageal stenosis: the structural abnormality of esophageal wall leads to intrinsic narrowing of the esophagus, and esophageal stenosis can easily lead to the patient’s frequent choking on drinking water. Patients with pharyngeal tumors can also cause choking when drinking water. If choking when drinking water occurs, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time to find out the cause of the disease and then target treatment.
