Why have I been gagging so much lately?!
Question: Why have I been gagging so much lately.?
Lately I have been gagging...this problem sounds weird but its becoming quite bothersome...
General Details About Me:
I am a cigarette smoker (about 15 a day), I drink sometimes (2-5 drinks) a week...my immune system seems down not neccesarily that his has anything to do with gagging but I've been getting sick more often than normal lately. I'm in decent health for a 21 year old male.
My problem:
Here lately when I am eating, I start gagging during my meal and if I think about it, it makes it worse. So I have to slow down, get my mind off gagging and start again. Sometimes while smoking a cigarette I get a gag reflex and if I hit the cigarette again, I gag. I am not nauseus or vomiting at all...I dont gag and then throw up...I just gag...(i choke up, and make some gross noises)
Last night while walking the track with my fiancee I started gagging, when I started thinking about it, it got worse. It took 10 minutes to get back to feeling normal...
What the hell could be causing this...it doesnt seem like a common problem but its irritating.Health Question & Answer

Hmm, the thinking it about it part gets worse, because you fear it happening again. Although you do need to go to your doctor, possibly have an endoscopy done, kinda reminds me of achaslasia. Health Question & Answer
