How To Get Rid Of Choking Feeling In The Food Pipe?

My wife feels like a food pipe obstruction, which hurts her to some extent, especially after eating some dry solid food, like say, after swallowing chunks of overcooked white chicken. This feeling is related to lower portion of the pipe (from hest down). The feeling is like as though the food is not going down easily while the inside of the food pipe feels tender. No such feeling is present when eating softer food. Any suggestion as to what to do to eliminate this feeling. Thanks for any help!

hi
obstruction in food pipe for solid food stuff : this can be due to various diseses of the esophagus or food pipe like one of them is achalasia cardia.
in this condition there is pain and difficulty in swallowing solid food stuff.
to diagnose it properly we need to either do a barium study or gastroscopy wherein we can attribute the area which is affected by the disease.
the symptoms mentioned by you are caused by the acidity caused by this condition.
so i would suggest you to visit a gastroenterologist and get yourself evaluated properly and get proper treatment for that.
regards
