Why Am I Having Trouble Swallowing My Food?!!?

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
Abbeville, AL

I have been having trouble swallowing my food Everytime I eat. The food gets stuck in my esophagus and when I drink something to help swallow it hurts like hell feels like it's a huge ass Boulder in your throat and that you can't get rid of. And it's getting where I can't even eaten more I'm almost what is going on what do I do I'm at a loss. My CD4 is 234 and I'm undetectable.

@A myHIVteam Member I'd do all I can between now and Monday to get those thrush meds. Your in serious shape if you have thrush in your throat. I would be presenting myself to the dr or emergency room on Monday. You don't want to mess around and get it in your stomach too. Youtube HIV and thrush. I remember thrush. Food taste like bs also.

I have this happen from time to time. But I've noticed that it only happens when I eat bread too quickly. Yes, it hurts like hell trying to get it down. I have no problem with any other food, just bread.
Also, if you have issues with acid reflux, that scars the esophagus which makes it hard to swallow food as well.
See if any of these things seem similar to what you have going on:

I talked to her the other day and told her all of my symptoms. She called in some kind of medicine wanting to treat it as the thrush. Do I need to call her back on Monday?
