Any Ideas On Difficulty Swallowing With Chest Tightness And At Times Need To Induce Vomiting?

Sometimes after I eat, I have trouble swallowing, then my chest gets tight. Sometimes it passes after a few minutes, other times, I have to go induce vomiting. It usually ends up being a lot of thick saliva with a couple pieces of undigested food. Any idea?

Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic

Retching usually happens due to underline anxiety. In that case, you need some antacid and anxiolytic that would help to control the anxiety level and stress. Maintain your sleep and consult a psychiatrist for further management.

Thanks
