Can pill still be stuck in throat even though you can't feel it?

I posted a few days ago saying I'm scared of taking pills..Well I took a vitamin today and it went down rough..It got caught in my air way for a few seconds it felt..Then I felt it kind of go away, but at the same time it didnt feel like it went down my throat..Now I'm a little worried that it might still be stuck somewhere...

No, at the most you are probably feeling a sensation from the pill but nothing more. It went down. You can not choke. The body knows how to take care of you (as long as you are not heavily drinking). You're OK. Go on about your day. You'll soon forget and then you'll realize that it is certainly gone.

angelos,
Also remember that your body temperature will dissolve the pill within 30 min. no matter what. I used to have this problem and if you think about eating a piece of food you will realize that most of the food you swallow is bigger than the pills you will take.. even big "horse pill" vitamins. Hope this helps.. Good luck

I hate taking pills too but wanted to start the Good Days vitamins. I'm so afraid of choking. I always have bread broken in pieces ready to eat after swallowing. It really helps the pills to go down.
