Sometimes: Hi Food can be stuck for prolonged periods of time depending on what it was that got stuck (like a bone from fish) or if you have a predisposition for it such as a stricture or narrowing in your esophagus. If it still feels like something is stuck this long after last eating, I would consider being evaluated by a GI specialist.
