Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of difficulty swallowing liquid. Well the symptoms you mention in query can occur due to many reasons , but in your case it seems to me that there i probable two reason for your symptoms, firstly symptoms occur due acid reflux disease , which occur due dysfunction of esophageal sphincter . Due to which the acidic content of stomach come upwards. Secondly it occur due to cardiac problem like angina or arrhythmia. Need not to worry. You should take light walk after every meal and take antacid after every meal. I would suggest you to consult cardiologist for proper checkup. Doctor may order ECG , TMT or lipid profile test . Doctor may prescribe diazepam , betaloc , aspirin or may refer you to gastroenterologist if he/she find this problem to be related with acid reflux . For now avoid eating spicy and heavy meal specially at night.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
