Is it normal to feel food on the left side of your chest when you swallow it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Is it a feeling of food getting stuck and/or taking a long time to travel down? Or is it pain in the left side of chest on swallowing? Also the type/amount of food you eat matters as well. In any case, if it persists and is going on for a while, please see your primary care doctor for an evaluation. If there’s chest pain or breathing difficulty associated with it, urgent evaluation is needed.
