What Causes Air Bubble Like Movement Between Chest And Throat After Eating?
After eating, I frequently get an uncomfortable feeling of air moving between my chest and throat, but I can't burp and any air that comes out seems to go right back in. I also get hiccups probably about a third of the time this happens, which is frequent. I don't think this is normal and its been happening for a long time.

Hi dear ,
Welcome to HCM,
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have air bubble like movement between chest and throat after eating , which is very common problem after having meals due to gastroesophageal reflux disease. I would suggest you to take few preventive measures such as raise bed level on head side. The symptoms can also be due to too much swallowed air, which cause releasing the air and burping .I would suggest you to avoid spicy and heavy meal specially at night . Eat at least one hour before going to bet , take a light walk for 15-20 mins after every meal. You should take antacid after every meal like gelusil. Take combination of proton pump inhibitors along with antacids such as rantidine, omeprazole. Visit ENT specialist once if symptoms keeps on persisting to rule out throat infection.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
