hi david!!
i have had problems with my eusophegus muscle going into spazmz, , it was
like a charlie horse in my throat,, my breathing was strained,, little air
was gettin in,,
i treat this with salbutamol inhaler,, it is a bronchail dilator and opens
my wind pipe when i have this occur.

also when i yawn my jaw locks open at times,, very painfull, related to my
breathing problem, i feel the muscle contract and lock like a charlie horse
in my thigh,, same muscle tightening feeling
, i do not have asthma, there is no phlem in my throat, blocking breathing,,
which was the doctors first thought.

this may not be exactly what you have,, but it is possible that what you
have, if it is MS ,could be muscle message interference,, making the
message to swallow not go thru,, creating your swallowing problems,,

do tums or antacid help this,, have you tried them???
if its a kind of acid reflux like you suggested??

definitly see your doctor,, get him thinking on it,, or your neuro,, or
call your local Ms clinic,, ask them about it,,

i find anything that could lead to death, by choking or not being able to
breath very serious problems as opposed to my leg problem., these are more
important,,
more immediate attention then!!!! , when i got to emerg when i first had my
breathing problem,, it went away by the time i got there!!!! they just put
me on some oxygen
for a couple minutes,, the emerg dude did not have a clue how to treat me,,
didnt think it was MS,, after i saw my neuro, it was dxed,,, as he had seen
it often in his patients.

so have your doctor or neuro check it out!!!! at least if they record it and
something else happens later,, they can do the math and figure out related
symptoms!!!

my throat spazmz in my wind pipe, and my painful yawning that leads to
locked under the chin spazmz
were related. this could also support a finding on mri of placque that
affects this area,,of my body.

take it easy man!!!!
