Then I consulted the doctor about this. Let's know what the doctor has to say on this. Doctor Ejaz of Holy Family is giving information about this.

Why does food seem to be stuck in the throat?

This may be due to gastroesophageal reflux disease. This is a condition in which stomach acid comes back up into the esophagus, the food pipe. This causes a feeling of being stuck and full in the throat.

It also causes heartburn, acid reflux and heartburn. The symptoms worsen when you eat fried, spicy or fat-rich foods. If acid reflux occurs occasionally, it is not a matter of concern, but if you face it often, it can affect your quality of life. It can really damage your tissues.
