Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hello , My dad gets chest pain after he has few bites of rice. This has started happening recently, the food gets stuck n he cant really breathe. He always has to throw up. It has happened twice But before he used to get hiccups while he had rice ..
I understand your concern. It seems like your father is suffering from a condition related to his foodpipe (esophagus), which is needs to be investigated. You do not provide further detail on your dad's medical history, thus I am unable to be more precise, however, I recommend he sees a doctor, who will very likely order an endoscopy in order to investigate the insides of the intestinal system. In the mean time, switching to a more liquid diet and avoiding solid foods would be the sensible thing to do.
Wishing you and your dad good health and all the best.
