What Causes Difficulty In Swallowing Food And Nausea?
Hi, for the past few days, I have had a lot of discomfort when I swallow. When I swallow, I can feel the food pause at the base of my esophagus and then eventually enter my stomach (takes approx. 5 seconds from swallowing until the discomfort goes away). I have been burping up foamy saliva all day today. I feel very nauseous a few bites into my meal, but there is no burning sensation, and there isn t a possibility of being pregnant.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You are having dysphagia (difficulty in swallowing).
It is not seen in pregnancy.
Dysphagia is commonly seen with esophageal pathologies like achalasia, GERD, esophageal mass or polyp. So better to consult gastroenterologist and get done upper GI (gastrointestinal) scopy to find out cause for this dysphagia.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
