What Causes Feeling Of Something Stuck In The Throat While Eating?

Sometimes when I m eating, I swallow the food but it seems like something is stuck in my throat. It burns a bit like heartburn and is a bit difficult to breathe. If I drink water, sometimes it will help, other times it is like it gets stuck and I throw up the water and there is a lot of mucus with it.

Hello dear
I understand your concern

Your symptoms could be due to acid reflux, esophagitis hiatus hearnia.
Acid reflux cause feeling of something stuck inside the throat.
Take following advises:
Tablet Esmoprazole 30 minutes before meal
Syrup mucaine before the meal
Take soluble fiber like senna.
Take small frequent meal rather than large meal.
Drink plenty of lukewarm water and take steam inhalation.
Take diet like banana, rice, applesauce, toast, buttermilk and curd.
Do regular exercise like walking and yoga.

If problem persists after 2-3 week then consult the gastroenterologist for detailed examination and management.
Hope this may help you
