Can you choke on vitaminand die?

Hardly. Not if her her throat is normally healthy. I also take vitamins and one has to have a large glass of water and only take a few at a time. There should be no need to break them.They are often shaped so as they slip down. If she has some illness that restricts swallowing she will have to take her doctors advice.

not very likely, getting trapped in your esophagus won't do it but going down the wrong pipe (your airway) possibly could. many vitamins can be crushed and mixed with water, milk or juice and then easily swallowed. check with a medical website for an answer for your specific vitamin.

Would not have thought so but anything is possible I suppose especially if they get lodged in the esophagus .

You can choke on anything and die.

Probably not.

I would like to know if you can choke on a vitamin and die because my girlfriend has to take huge vitamins that are really uncomfortable to swallow. That's even when she breaks them in half. I would also like to know how many people have died in a year from this incident.
