Feeling like something has stuck in my chest which makes it difficult to belch means what?

Possible blockage: The possibilities here are 1. Esophageal spasm - particularly if symptoms are intermittent. 2. Esophageal stricture 3. Most likely, hiatal hernia. Diagnosis can be made by UGI xray and/or UGI endoscopy with manometric (pressure) studies. 4.If symptoms are related to food intake try eating more slowly.
