How can I feel choking when I eat? This condition is common in chronic tonsillitis and chronic pharyngitis, for example, there is a foreign body feeling in the throat, like blocking something, like the Chinese medicine said plum kernel gas, spitting out, not swallowing. Western medicine is called pharyngeal neurosis, there is no real foreign body blocked here, just a foreign body feeling. In patients with gastroesophageal reflux, some of them may have reflux laryngitis, and the stimulation of the hypopharynx by gastric acid may also cause a foreign body sensation in the throat, a feeling of choking, mucous phlegm, throat clearing, and other actions. There are also less common causes, such as tonsil tumors and throat tumors, which can also cause choking sensation when swallowing, and esophageal cancer, which can also cause choking sensation when eating. Therefore, the symptoms alone cannot distinguish which disease it is, so if it is not good repeatedly, you must go to the hospital as soon as possible to let the doctor diagnose it.
