I've been noticing that whenever I eat, it feels like the food isn't going down the right way and ends up in my windpipe. It's pretty uncomfortable, and I often get a burning feeling afterwards. I'm really concerned this might turn into aspiration pneumonia. What can I do to handle this? Would love some advice.
