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.
What Causes Tight Sensation In The Throat After Swallowing Food?
This doesn t occur but a couple of times a day....when I take a bit of a sandwich, a grape or a muffin, my throat tightens for several minutes then relaxes. Frequently this is followed by hic cups. Before this started happening, I was diagnosed with reflux. I am currently on allergy shots (have been for years) and I am not allergic to these foods. What makes this happen? Could it be serious?
Your symptoms can be related to reflux. The stomach acid may have caused an inflammation of the throat mucosis. I recommend using antacid to reduce the level of acid in the stomach. I also recommend avoiding food which may trigger the symptoms.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
