How to Eat When You Have Trouble Breathing

1. Choose foods that are easy to swallow. Soft, moist foods are easier to swallow than hard, dry foods. Some good options include:

* Applesauce

* Bananas

* Yogurt

* Oatmeal

* Rice

* Mashed potatoes

* Pudding

* Ice cream

2. Cut your food into small pieces. This will make it easier to swallow and reduce the risk of choking.

3. Drink plenty of fluids. Fluids help to keep your food moist and make it easier to swallow. Water is the best choice, but you can also drink juice, broth, or milk.

4. Eat slowly and chew your food thoroughly. This will help you to avoid choking.

5. Sit up straight when you eat. This will help you to breathe more easily.

6. Avoid eating in a hurry. If you are feeling stressed or rushed, you are more likely to choke. Take your time and relax while you eat.

7. Avoid foods that are hard to swallow. Some foods, such as nuts, seeds, popcorn, and raw vegetables, can be difficult to swallow. If you have trouble swallowing, avoid these foods.

8. Talk to your doctor or a speech therapist. If you are having trouble swallowing, talk to your doctor or a speech therapist. They can evaluate your condition and recommend strategies to help you eat safely.
