What Causes Discomfort In The Upper Back After Having Food?

Hi I have been having discomfort after eating in my upper back. It started afte i chocked on raw lettuce a month ago. The discomfort is bad after eating but fades awhile after eating but is constant throuhout the day. I dont know if it is my spine or something caught in my esophagus??? I am not coughing and feel ok other than this but it seems to be getting worse. I eat alot of raw vwggies and fruits.Thank you

Hi,

Detailed evaluation is required.

Most probably it is due to gastric reflux and still we have to rule out a variant of angina which worsen with food.

As of now, you can take antacids like Pantoprazole or Omeprazole.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
