What Causes Difficulty In Movement Of Certain Types Of Food?

I have a problem swolling some foods frequently, mostly meat whether chicken, pork, steak or hamburger meat...it doesn t matter (although it doesn t usually happen with fish). At least a couple of times I have had it stuck all night long because I couldn t get the food to move up or down, even drinking liquid...it just sit on top of the obstruction and I throw it up (this happened again last night and I was afraid to lie down, afraid I might choke). It finally moved down into my stomach this morning but it was a very painful night and that area still feels sore. The offending food last night was one bite of hamburger meat.

Hello there, I duly noted all the signs and symptoms you hav mentioned. Dont panic, as there r very less chances that its a serious condition. And considering the inconsistencies in symptoms due to swallowing particular type of food, suggest you visit a gastro enterologist and get evaluated. Also u seem to be under lot of stress, hence visit a psychiatrist and have a therapy session to reduce stress levels, as stress is more likely to cause such symtoms. Thank you and hope my advice helped you.
