Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Blocking sensations in chest while eating and drinking are mostly seen with esophageal pathologies like achalasia cardia, GERD, esophageal mass or tumour etc.
So get done
1. Barium swallow
2. Upper GI (gastrointestinal) scopy
3. CT thorax.
So consult gastroenterologist and discuss all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your mother. Thanks.
