Not so good

The choking thing happened again, big time. This time coca-cola didn't get rid of it and I began to panic. Again we had to call an ambulance, again a guest was here and this happened at dinner.

It was the same ambulance crew as before! They gave me the side eye when I explained I hadn't been to the doctor about the choking... It eventually stopped, the food did as it should, but they wanted to take me to hospital anyway. Tough though, because everyone at dinner had drunk some alcohol. It was the middle of the night. How was I to get back home?

I declined, promising everybody I would phone the doctor today. The message says the surgery's shut. So now what? 111 is for serious stuff, 999 is for emergencies... This isn't serious until it is, and then it really is. I am still very worn out by the whole thing.

I don't know what to do.

Please don't apologise! I think you may be right, and am grateful for a nurses view. There's been other stuff that points to acid reflux problems as well.

I haven't contacted doctors about this, I just thought thought it was as thisnewday suggested, a possibility of eating too fast and not chewing enough, especially at meals with guests.

So I'm very grateful for thoughts from those who have experience of this kind of thing, professionally or personally!
