This is no joke im an avid surfer and today I got in a killer barrel and then the wave closed out on me, after it let me up I sucked in a big gulp of air/ saltwater right before it pulled me down again. When I came up and exhaled I tried to breathe in and couldn't, my larynx had closed. I kept gasping but couldn't inhale a sufficent breath Then I coughed and spat up some water and my breathing returned to normal, but it was a very unpleasant feeling.
When i was in the waterslide yesterday, i slide down the waterslide and until i was in the water and the water gets into my lungs and i can't breathe and i cough it out. and i can breath now, is that a dry drowning, because i'm fear of heart attacks and death.
She is right about the spasm which is a defence reaction by the Epiglottis.
Which doesn't allow food or water to go in the lungs when we eat or drink, and when the Epiglottis shuts due to a possible drowning it doesn't allow air to pass and that is called dry drowning.
When the water enters the lungs and a small quantity remains the lungs get infected and start to produce fluid, a type of pneumonia, and that is what is called secondary drowning and the casualty may be at risk for 72 hours.

@xXBabyBlueXx12 Because salt water keeps you above water. Because of the density.
