What Causes Constant Choking While Eating Food?
this is been going on since forever. I can eat not matter what it is however not soon after I start to cough and cough and then food comes right back up. I try not to cough but it still happens. I get the feeling while I eat that the food is block and doesn t to go down and I know some do because I can throw up until i see bile. After wards I feel better until I get hunger. This mostly happens when I go to sleep however it is spilling over into the day time.

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of constant choking while eating food which are pointing towards upper respiratory tract infection , esophagitis , esophageal web or ring , tonsillitis , infection can be caused by bacterial or viral infection. Avoid hot, sharp , spicy food. I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist for proper examination . Doctor may order test like viral culture test , throat swab test and blood test to confirm the diagnosis and rule out causes. you should go for get laryngoscopy as well. Doctor may prescribe antibacterial amoxicillin or anti viral acyclovir depending upon the diagnosis along with decongestants. Doctor may refer you to gastroenterologist for esophagus problem , who may recommend surgery to remove obstacle . For now continue doing gargles and drink one spoon of honey mix with glass of lukewarm water. You should take steam inhalation along with vaporizers.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
