No Air.


So today I made a fruit smoothie to eat. I used blueberry's and raspberry's and whole milk. I blended it up then drank it over about 15 minutes. When I took the last swallow, I suddenly felt the need for air. I tried to breath in but couldn't. This went on for about ninety seconds. I was trying to suck air in and only a very small amount came in. I almost called 911 but then I calmed down and started breathing very shallowly. After about 30 seconds I could breath full breaths. But man, was that a strange feeling. I sent a message to my ALS doctor to see if he had any idea of what it was that caused that. I have made the same type of smoothie three or four times and not had this happen. Will wait for my doctor to reply before I have one of those again!
