Feeling blocked in the chest when eating

Feeling food blocked in the chest when eating is mainly considered to be caused by factors such as esophagitis and chronic pharyngitis, but may also be caused by tumors such as esophageal cancer. Patients need to go to the hospital for relevant examination in time, and then carry out symptomatic treatment. Common causes and treatments 1. Esophagitis: mainly due to acid reflux into the esophagus, under the long-term stimulation of gastric acid, the esophageal mucosa is damaged and causes local congestion and erosion, which can lead to discomfort when eating. Patients can go to the hospital for gastroscopy and take oral medications such as omeprazole and magnesium aluminum carbonate for treatment under the guidance of a professional doctor. In the diet need to pay attention to avoid drinking, overeating, and eat less sweet, spicy, greasy food; 2, chronic pharyngitis: can cause swallowing foreign body sensation, swallowing disorders or poor eating and other symptoms, patients can laryngoscopy to clarify the diagnosis, and then under the guidance of professional doctors, through oral tablets, gargling, nebulization and other treatment, but also need to be regularly reviewed to observe the effect of treatment. Daily life should pay attention to a light diet, do not eat spicy and irritating food, and avoid staying up late, smoking, etc.; 3, cardia atelectasis: the main symptoms are intermittent dysphagia, a feeling of heaviness or obstruction behind the sternum. Most of the disease duration is long, symptoms are sometimes mild and heavy, attacks are often related to mental factors. Treatment is divided into non-surgical and surgical methods. Non-surgical treatment is to change dietary habits, such as eating fewer meals, chewing slowly, and avoiding overly hot or cold food. Some patients with mild early disease can try to perform esophageal dilatation first, and surgical therapy, i.e. lower esophageal cardia myotomy, has good effect; 4. Neoplastic diseases: commonly found in tumors such as esophageal cancer and hypopharyngeal cancer, which can cause symptoms of feeding obstruction and require barium X-ray or gastroscopic biopsy to confirm the results. Usually, in the early stage of esophageal tumor, endoscopic treatment such as radiofrequency ablation, cryotherapy, endoscopic mucosal resection, or endoscopic submucosal dissection can be used for treatment, and if the condition is more serious, timely surgery is needed to relieve the symptoms.
