I had barely started eating this evening (around 7:30 CST) when I felt like my esophagus was obstructed. I have had this happen before but it usually resolves itself in 5 minutes or so. This evening it took a lot longer, and finally I gagged and vomited, which dislodged the piece of meat I had stuck. However, it still feels like there is something there. I keep belching, and every twenty minutes or so I gag and vomit what I think is the saliva I swallow (I ve been spitting most of it out as it collects in my mouth. I ve tried taking antacids/anti gas tablets, and pepto bismol tablets over the course of the night, but they don t help. The next time I gag, they come back up. I live in a small town, but we do have a hospital. Should I go there?
