Husband has been choking on food for his whole life

My husband has had a swallowing problem for as long as he can remember. He literally needs to have a drink when he eats to “wash the food down”. He also frequently clears his throat after he eats, makes snorting sounds when he breathes sometimes, and snores literally all night long. It was the final straw recently when I had to do the heimlich on him twice in a year, once in our kitchen and another time at a restaurant in front of like 100 people (none of which came to help or check on us). Now that I’m 5 months pregnant, I am rapidly becoming more useless if I were to have to do this again because my belly is getting bigger and I’m honestly terrified he’s going to choke and die one day. I finally got him to set up an appointment at the ENT, but wanted to post on here too and see if this is something any of you deal with and if you’ve found any solutions?
