I was eating beef stew. I thought I chewed enough. When I swallowed it got stuck. I tried coughing, throwing up (some liquid came up) I hurt awful. This lasted 40 min. now it feels like something is still in my throat a little lower though. I have not tried sipping water I'm afraid to. This has happened before and if I try to relax and not get anxious the muscle will relax and food will pass. This was different .
