A member asked:
Swallowing food is painful and i can feel the food going into the stomach... food feels like it is stuck in the chest and throat?

Reflux: Esophogeal reflux is a possible cause for this. Acid moves from the stomach up to the esophagus and causes irritation + inflammation. You could try taking a medicine called omeprazole, 40mg daily for 2 weeks and see if this helps. If it doesn't, you should see a Dr for referral for an endoscopy.

See doctor: You will most likely need to be scoped. You do not want to choke so have soft diet until you are evaluated
