Just ate and now have this heavy feeling in my chest like the food is just sitting there.

Heavy feeling: One shouldn’t worry if transient. If the sensation continues and one can’t seem to swallow properly any liquids or solids and begin drooling, one should be concerned about food that is stuck and should proceed to the nearest ER as an urgent endoscopy may be needed. It could be a sign of esophageal ring, stricture, eosinophilic esophagitis or in worst cases esophageal mass
