Weird I've never had that on my chest. I've had it in my throat when I'm lying on weird angles, like my side. Of course that's very easily avoidable lol.

That's a hiatal hernia.

Skill issue

If this is what drowning feels like I don't want to drown.

Vapor lock!

I always figured it was your lower esophageal sphincter (the one by your stomach) kinda, like..spasming when you swallow, and then being seized up when the water tries to pass through, leading you to have to swallow extra-hard and force it through.

The resulting pain would be from having forced it, and feel like it's in your chest 'cause abdominal pains can tend to be pretty imprecise.

But, I know absolutely nothing about medicine or the human body, so don't take my word for that. These are just the ramblings of a filth-strewn peasant trying to make sense of the world around him.

Yeah what is that, your body trying it's best to give you a hernia or what?

I got "chest freeze" once and it was fucking weird. I call it that only because of what caused it and because I have never known anything like it or heard anyone else have a similar reaction.

A couple years ago Iwas working as an installer for a wireless ISP, mostly outdoors working on roofs and shit. This was in the summer and we had a helluva time surveying for the signal before we could install the dish and run the cable, hella hot and shit, on our last appointment of the day. We finally get done and leave the site, which was right next to an AM/PM so I stop and grab a couple Gatorades and as soon as I got back in my truck, just slammed one down. Fucker was ice cold and after I took a couple chugs, it was like a donkey kicked me in the chest. It hurt so bad. But only for like 30 seconds, like a brain freeze headache but in my chest. Shit was weird as fuck and sucked.

Water in your lungs is no laughing matter. Laughing will actually make the pain worse.

it's caused by the lector stultus maximus muscle
