Food stuck in esophegus?
Hi. Several times now,more than 10 I'd say, when I eat I can't swallow,the food gets stuck in my throat and is very painfullya and struggle to breath. Last night I had the worst episode yet,eat some chicken breast (it was overcooked and a little dry) and I could feel it stuck in my throaty,moving very very slowly. To help it down I rushed for a drink of water but the water made it worse and sat above the food, I was chocking and in pain and forced myself to be sick to get it out. This has happened several times before, peanut butter is a trigger but not every time. Just want to know why this happens and what can I do,if anything to stop it. My throat and esophegus is sore today after last night

I have the same issue...very scary, very annoying. What you need to do is go and see a gastroenterologist and he will give you an upper endoscopy. It's not scary, they knock you out for it, and you won't feel a thing. I have trouble with the chicken breast too, especially steak, and certain types of pasta are a trigger. I too need to force myself to be sick to get it out...Yes! I can't drink when that happens either! Do you have heartburn Issues? I have had many years of heartburn so I think that is the cause of why I can't swallow properly, but there are other reasons as well. You should discuss it with your doctor so they can look down there and see what's going on. I am going to....I have just learned not to eat my trigger foods...Good Luck to you and I hope you find your answer. I know how you feel.
