What are the symptoms for a herniated esophagus?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I think you are...: Referring to a zenker's diverticulum. This occurs when the lining of the esophagus herniated between constrictor muscles of the throat reducing a sack that extends into the neck. The symptoms usually consist of a fullness in the neck or throat after eating with a regurgitation of chewed foods that relieves the fullness symptoms. This is caused by the food filling the sack.
