Food aspiration

2017-08-05 10:02:00
I was eating mashed potatoes when I aspirated a piece. I tried to cough but nothing came out. Then I got difficulty breathing, chest discomfort (more like numb feeling in the chest), severe coughing, and a bit numb face. Did I aspirate the food? If so, what should I do?
