What’s wrong with choking on your food?

There are many reasons for choking while eating, and the common ones are reflux esophagitis, esophageal cancer and pancreatic achalasia. 1. Reflux esophagitis: Reflux of gastric contents due to decrease in anti-reflux function, decrease in esophageal clearance ability, abnormal sensation in esophagus, delayed gastric emptying, etc. can cause difficulty in swallowing and choking while eating. 2. Esophageal cancer: Esophageal cancer is a malignant tumor of epithelial origin in the esophagus, which mainly manifests symptoms such as choking while eating, foreign body sensation, retrosternal pain or obvious difficulty in swallowing. 3. Cardia dystrophy: mainly characterized by lower esophageal sphincter relaxation disorder and no peristaltic movement of the esophagus, the common symptom is a sense of obstruction in eating. Frequent choking while eating may also be related to other causes, such as eosinophilic esophagitis, etc. It is recommended to consult a doctor as soon as possible to identify the causes and standardize the treatment under the guidance of a professional physician.
