I can't understand why people throw their head back when swallowing a tablet, and the reason I can't understand this is because by throwing the head back in this way causes the entry for liquid to narrow.
Answer:
It's a habit. People who do it swear they can't swallow a pill any other way. It doesn't help and yes, it does make the passage-way more narrow. But they still do it. As long as they don't choke, there's no harm. And if they choke, you would HOPE they'd quit doing it!
I don't know why they do it, but it drives me crazy! It does nothing! Ahh! Pet peeve!
If u don't it makes ur chest throb with pain.
Not funn at all thats why i throw my head back.
It's all in their head. They think it will allow them to swallow the pill better if they move it to the back of their throats.
they probably think it will go down easier beacuse its liek more vertical
It is easier to swallow, and by doing this, it is easier for the tablet to go down your throught as your neck is streighter.
But yes you are correct in what you say
Its a psychological thing. They think is makes the pill go to the back of their throat so its easier to swallow.
they're thinking it'll help it jump over the trecchia(spelling?) instead of getting stuck.I do it, but It's just a habit
Its a reflex, most people throw their head back then take a drink once they have righted themselves. Its konda like tossing a pill into your mouth and not wanting to taste itso they throw trheir head back so the pill hits the back of thier throat and then drink.
i dont know either. i dont do it but i always choke on a tablet so half to break it in half.
lol how true is that seriously about 2 hours ago I took a tablet and threw my head back, I think I did it because I thought it might go down my throat better - not really sure though.
They believe that it makes the pill easier to swallow--that they are throwing it to the back of their throat. However, most pills are lighter than water and will float, so if you will tilt your head forward (chin tuck) the pill will float to the back of your throat, also closes your airway(making it harder to choke) and the pill is easier to swallow). But it is more entertaining to watch people throw their heads around (kinda like in the 70's when the guys had long bangs and they had to keep them "thrown" outta their eyes--some kids do now)LOL. But not funny when they get choked.
To swallow the pill easier.
to help it go down. it just makes them feel better. don't question it.

I guess they think it will go down easier.
To get the tablet to the back of their throat.
Perhaps they think it will make it easier to swallow the tablet, and let gravity help it go down, specially if it's bitter. I feel it's more natural to lower the chin slightly.
i don't
and p.s-the entry for liquid to narrow! don't think so-that's what the cartilagenous rings are for!
to make it mre dramatic,,lyk ahh poor me (hed back) i have to take tablets (hint hint ask me whats rong,what r they for ect.).well thats what i reckon lol,,but yh i hayt it aswell!!
