How likely is it for a pill to get stuck in the airway?

Asked by dumitus (657points) August 14th, 2012

I have this unreasonable fear that a pill will get stuck in the middle of my airway and suffocate me.
Knowing that it won’t and lumps of food much bigger than a pill go down the way smoothly doesn’t help ward off the fear.
So if someone told me I will never ever die of a pill it would go a long way.
