Foamies?

I went to my office building's holiday luncheon today and ate a quarter of my favorite sandwich -- triple decker layered with tuna salad and egg salad on crustless soft rye bread.  I took off the top bread but ate the rest.  I wanted more because it is so delicious, but I knew anything more would be too much.  I wrapped the other half of my half sandwich and the dark chocolate covered strawberries.  I will have the strawberries for my snack tonight and the rest of the sandwich tomorrow.

My question is about foamies.  I almost threw up when I was about 3 months out after eating part of a hot pretzel.  It was undoubtedly the foamies. 

Now about 15 minutes after eating, I am so congested and cannot stop coughing.  My stomach feels fine, I'm more full than usual, but not uncomfortable or nauseous.  It is not a cold or allergies, almost like when my nose runs when I've had one too many bites, but my nose is not running.  I have had bread before without this reaction.  Maybe because the bread was so soft and delicious.  I am 18 months out, so the newness of this feeling is very weird.

If it continues longer than a few hours, you probably are getting a cold. 'Tis the season.

It went away within 15 - 30 minutes.  I think it was pre-foamies, because I walked it off and am all better now.

You ate enough so that your sleeve was pressing up against the Vagus Nerve. The symptoms you felt was a result of vagus nerve stimulation. Here's a link to some quirky facts about the vagus nerve: 9 Nervy Facts About the Vagus Nerve!

I'm new, can someone explain to me what the "foamies" are?
