Eating in the chest can be caused by indigestion, reflux esophagitis and esophageal cancer. 1. Indigestion: When eating a lot of indigestible food at one time, indigestion may occur, resulting in a feeling of blockage in the chest. 2. Reflux esophagitis: Reflux esophagitis causes the reflux of stomach contents to stimulate the esophagus and throat, which leads to foreign body sensation in the throat and blockage in the chest. 3. Esophageal cancer: Esophageal cancer belongs to malignant tumors, and the main symptom is difficulty in swallowing and feeling that food is blocked in the chest when eating. The feeling of food blockage in the chest may also be caused by myocarditis and other diseases. Patients should go to the hospital in time, clarify the cause of the disease, and standardize the treatment under the guidance of physicians.
