What Causes Belching And Excessive Hiccups After Eating?
I ate a chicken breast and rice for dinner. I feel as though I ate one bite that was too big and cannot seem to get it digested . I keep coughing/throwing up bile like substance. I have tried two cups of hot tea but nothing seems to help and now hiccups have started and causing a great death. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks Christi

Hello,
It is due to severe acid reflux.
As a first line management, you can take antacids like omeprazole or pantoprazole for symptomatic relief.
If symptoms persist better to consult a gastroenterologist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
