A member asked:

During eating i don't feel full in my stomach i always feel the food lin my esophagus no matter how little i eat.its annoying what's the cause of that?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hiatal hernia: A weakness at the opening to the stomach can cause a hiatal hernia and allow part of the stomach to enter the chest cavity. This may cause food to get stuck before entering into the stomach. An upper GI x-ray or gastroscope could show this. Should consult with your doctor to find out what is causing the problem.
