What Causes Difficulty In Swallowing Along With Belching?

I think I may have a hiatal hernia. The symptoms are like the ones I have looked up online. Difficulty swallowing, belching, coughing up clear phlem, and pain in my diaphram. This usually happens when I am eating. I am not able to finish my meal when this happens.

Hello dear
I understand your concern
Your symptoms could be due to the acid reflux, esophageal obstruction by web formation, mass in the stomach/esophagus , hiatus hearnia.
I would suggest to consult the gastroenetrologist and undergo barium meal xray and or endoscopy to rule out the above causes.
Meanwhile take following advises:
Tablet esmoprazole 30 minutes before the meal
Syrup mucine
Tablet metoclopramide at the bed time
Tablet gas-x
Avoid heavy meal.
Take small frequent meal
Avoid spicy/fatty/oily food.
Beta blocker and glucagon can be used under the advise of the gastroenetrologist.
Do not go for bed immediately after meal.
Hope this may help you
