What Causes Chest Congestion After Eating?
I am having problems with chest congestion after eating. This occurs just under my neck especially when I am walking. After digestion there is some relief. Is this likely heartburn or sounds more serious. I am currently taking Prilosec 14 day regiment for this.

Hello,
It doesn't sound serious but I suggest you get scheduled for a gastroscopy to assess if there is esophagitis or a hiatal hernia.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care

Dr Anders Mark Christensen, General Surgeon
