What Causes Tightness In Throat After Eating?
My 19 year old son has been having issues with his throat tightening when he eats. He can pinpoint it to specific foods, such as: bread, rolls, pancakes, and cake. It happens almost every time he eats. If he eats slowly (slower than normal), he can avoid the tightening. He said that if he sits still for 5 to 10 minutes the tightening goes away. Sometimes he feels like he has to vomit for the tight feeling to go away.
