What Causes The Feeling Of Congestion Along With Hiccups While Having Food?
A lot of times when I eat steak or a solid meat I start to hiccup a little and it feels like its stuck in someplace as it goes down and I have to stop and sometimes force myself to throw up and most times I am able to continue eating I do take rantidine fairly often I am a male 53 yrs old and this has been happening for about a year my doctor told me just to make sure I chew the meat more any thoughts ?
Hi, From history it seems that there might be having some irritation or space occupying lesion in your upper throat or epiglottis. Consult ENT surgeon and get examined. Direct or indirect Laryngoscopy will be of much helpful to find out the cause. Avoid solid food, fired and junk food. Avoid taking Gutkha or tobacco or smoking if you are having habit of it. Ok and take care.
