What Causes Heaviness In The Chest After Having Food?

Im 54 years of age. For the past 2 years, sometimes when I start eating, I get a heavy feeling in my chest with pain. My saliva also becomes heavy. I get were I can't breath or it's hard to breath. Before it's all over with, I end up throwing up 10 to 15 times. What's wrong with me? It only happen's when I eat, but not all the time.
