Stories like this make me thankful that it is very painful for me to drink more than 2 beers, even though I very much enjoy beer.
- arrowsmith 1y agoYou can't burp?
- munificent 1y ago"Abelchia" is the charming medical term. Interestingly, there is a relatively new treatment for it that involves injecting botox into the cricopharyngeus muscle. While the botox wears off relatively quickly, in many cases the cure is permanent. It's like the muscles needs to learn how to relax and once they have, they retain that capability.
- gwbas1c 1y agoYeah, I found out about that recently after a very painful plane ride. I periodically see an ENT, so I'm going to ask about it the next time I go. BTW, my current trick is to basically (almost) trigger myself to vomit. The burps come out but everything else stays in.
