Worrying Symptoms of a loved one
My boyfriend has a problem with breathing when he eats. When he eats anything, he gets light headed, feels this separate pulse that isn't his, but it's near his chest. He coughs, he can't breathe, and he becomes unconscious until I shake him back. His only solution is to only eat cold foods, like Ice cream, but it still bothers him, just not as bad... He has the metabolism to cater to it for now, but that won't last as he get's older... I'm worried about him, and his parent's haven't done anything to help, even when he's having these attacks right in front of them. I think it's a type of cyst and it's gotten worse over the months. Drinking water helps a little, but his stomach starts to hurt if he drinks too much water.
Is there any way I can help him without a doctor? He's under 18 so if I take him to a doctor, they can't do anything without the help of his unhelpful parents.
