text: swallowing pills make me feel stuck & nauseous...? everytime when i swallow pills, (any pills, from precription to vitamins...) i either feel it's stuck at my throat/esophagus, no matter how much water i drink, or i feel nauseous later... is it really physical, or just my psychological? it could be both. try smashing it up into a powder and taking it like bc or goody's if it still is hard to get down, mix it with some peanut butter. if it's still to hard... it could be psychological.
