What Causes Feeling Of Something Stuck Inside Throat?

I'm getting pain in what i think is the entrance between the esophagus and the stomach. It feels like food is stuck in that certain spot. Also, I have not been able to pass anything on the toilet besides urine. Will drinking prune juice help alleviate the pain?

Infectious Diseases Specialist,  's  Response
Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

I suspect that your problem is of muscular inco ordination

Normally when you try to eat or defecate your ahead portion of intestine relaxes and portion behind the food contracts. When this phenomenon is disturbed you are not able to eat or pass stools.

I advice you to get tested for barium meal study of the intestine. It can help to diagnose the condition.

Once diagnose it has only one option as a treatment and that is surgical correction.

Please eat semi solid foods more than solid ones, it has less problems than that of solid foods in swallowing.

I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
Dr Arun Tank
