Gagging And Difficulty In Swallowing Large Pills. Is There Any Solution?
I am having problems trying to swallow large pills - they stick in my throat and gag me then I have problems trying to dislodge. I live alone and have no one to help me with hymlik . Eventually have been able to clear, so far. Have not had my GP check out yet but wondered if you have any solutions for me - this large pill is for high blood pressure and have taken every day for years with no such problem. Other smaller pills go down fairly easily but some with some difficulty. - I am 79+ yrs and have been swallowing various meds and supps over many years (sometimes a few at once without difficulty). - Cutting into smaller pieces has not solved problem. Do you have any solutions???
