not so much as hard toi swallow but lump in my throat l notice it more after smoking im 15 and yes l know l shouldnt smoke...but l do also l have been getting alot of headaches and mild heart burn what could it be l went to the doc had a catscan for my headaches and it shows nothing
THE DOCTOR SAID l HAD MILD DKA and l was dehydrated

No matter how hard it is to swallow, you must! do not spit, always swallow young jedi.

Look, if u have allergies, u may be allergic to the tobacco u r smoking. This allergic reaction can get worse & cause ur throat to close. It is not an easy thing to go through & usually, results in having to go to the emergency room for IV steroids!

l think if l were you, l would put the smokes down & get some allergy testing done. When u r having these reactions, it stresses the heart & ur oxygen supply is lowered, if not cut off! In as much, please know that this can be serious & no, l am not trying to harp on u because u smoke. l too, have very bad allergies & have had to go to emergency rooms for help.too many times. My cousin, was very much like me but, older. She had a reaction while alone & it must have been a bad one as she was brain dead by the time they found her. So, l plead with you, do not blow this off! Be proactive, not reactive!

Now, l understand how difficult stopping smoking can be. Therefore, l am going to pray for u & for ur situation. l hope u will join me & pray for God is guidance & ability to let go of things which r bringing u harm, & at such an early age. May God guide u & lead u & may He touch ur life with health.

Are you talking about diabetic ketoacidosis ? Maybe you need a different doctor.that one did not even seem to care~
PS: gaillee01 your post is wonderful!
*Jesus Loves You*

This doctor does not seem too interested in helping you. Headaches can be caused by many things, including stress. When the cat scan was negative he should have looked at a few more things.

You definitely can not afford to have ur airway obstructed. Please continue to seek proper medical help.

l will also pray u find the will & strength to take better care of ur body. When a person is young it is hard to realize that our body can give out on us if not cared for properly.

You r on the edge of adult life & there is a lot of good ahead of you. Please take care of yourself so u get to experience all the cool things out there.

l feel life began for me after High school was over. For me, l was suicidal at age 18, due to abuse at home. l encountered Jesus Christ myself & He showed me the love l had never had before. He loved me & cared for me & He feels the same about u too. Let Jesus into ur life. You really need God is love & His help to get through the tuff stuff in life - especially when u have medical issues. l do care about you, it is not just about being religious, OK? Your life matters as much as anyones does. l will pray!

Difficulty in swallowing is an indication that you're deficient in iron. It simply means you're anemic. The headache is also an indication that you're anemic. The smoking might be what is causing the heartburn, & could be one of the contributing factor to ur anemia. It could also mean you're just not having a proper diet. As a smoker, u especially need to pay special attention to what u eat. To restore ur health, this is what u need to do.

Eat all kinds of fruits & vegetables. Include beef (very effective), livers, kidneys, green leafy vegetables, eggs, fish whole grains, almonds, apples,leaf green,turnip green, whole grain, berries, Brazil nuts, cantaloupe, cherries, legumes (include chickpeas, lentils, & red beans), all citrus, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, spinach, sweet potatoes, turnip, nuts, grains, carrots, pumpkin, squash, avocados, beets, beans, millet, peaches, pears, pumpkins, seeds, watercress, parsley, broccoli, bananas, okra, purple grapes, kelp, apricots, asparagus, peas, blackstrap molasses, plums, yam & peppermint in ur diet.

Drink throughout the day home made fruit & vegetable juices. Include green leafy vegetables in ur vegetable juice. In a glass of milk add at least 1 tablespoon of blackstrap molasses & consume at least twice daily.

Ensure that u eat at least 3 times per day. Fill ur stomach each time u eat.

At least one of ur diet should look something like this:

meat (eg. beef) or fish,
1 or 2 complex carbohydrate (eg. yam, potatoes, pumpkin etc),
A mixture of raw vegetables, (eg. lettuce, tomatoes, shredded pumpkin, broccoli, yellow or red sweet pepper, shredded carrots, parsley),
Varied mixture of steam vegetables (eg green leafy vegetable and/or string beans, & okra, or a vegetable salad)

If you'd like to add drink - preferably home made fruit or vegetable juice.

Have a glass of Green juice each day. Green juice is prepared as follows:

Green juices:
These can be made with alfalfa sprouts, cabbage, kale, dandelion greens, spinach & other green vegetables, including weatgrass. To sweeten & dilute ur green juices, try adding fresh carrot & apple juice.

4 - 5 carrots
3 springs fresh parsley
1 large handful spinach
1 large handful kale
1 beet, including tops
1 clove garlic, peeled

1). Thoroughly wash all vegetables, peeling the carrots & beet if they were not grown organically. Cut the vegetables into pieces small enough to fit into the juicer.

2). Process the vegetables in the juicer, & drink immediately.

A good supplement to use along with ur diet is Ultra Vitality NutraPack.

Do not take iron supplement unless it is prescribed by a doctor. Because iron is stored in the body, excessive iron intake can also cause problems.
