A member asked:

Ate broccoli, felt pain in chest food was "stuck", drank water it came back up- took 30 secs to cough and get breath, scary. how serious can this be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Food stuck: If this is a one time thing then I wouldn't worry about it. However, if you are routinely getting food that feels like it is getting stuck or you are regurgitating undigested food back up it would be worthwhile to talk with your provider and get that worked up. You may need a barium swallow or other evaluation.
