I always feel like my esophagus is choking in my chest. What's going on?

In life, many people have encountered the situation where they always feel that their esophagus is choking in their chest, but they don’t know the cause of this situation very well, and don’t know what disease causes this symptom. However, the most important thing to treat this symptom is to know what disease causes this symptom. So, what is the reason for always feeling that there is something stuck in the esophagus in the chest?

First, why do you always feel like there is something choking in your esophagus? A foreign body sensation in the larynx, sore throat, red and swollen throat, dry throat, itchy throat and cough, and in severe cases, hoarseness, all of these may be symptoms of chronic pharyngitis. The throat is one of the important organs of the human body, so why does it become inflamed? Acute pharyngitis is often caused by viruses, while the cause of chronic pharyngitis is mainly due to repeated attacks of acute pharyngitis due to incomplete treatment. The throat is an organ for swallowing food and pronouncing words, and is also one of the important organs of the human body. Due to various factors, there have been many patients suffering from pharyngitis to varying degrees in recent years. Pharyngitis is divided into two types: acute pharyngitis and chronic pharyngitis. Chronic pharyngitis is a common pharyngeal disease among the population. Acute pharyngitis is often caused by viruses, while the cause of chronic pharyngitis is mainly due to repeated attacks of acute pharyngitis due to incomplete treatment, which turns into chronic pharyngitis after a long time.

Second, some patients are more likely to get chronic pharyngitis due to air pollution in their working environment, long-term stimulation from smoking, drinking, spicy food, or those who use their voice too much due to their occupation. The cause of chronic pharyngitis is relatively complex, the disease often recurs and is not cured for a long time, and the treatment is difficult. However, in comparison, Chinese medicine can improve the condition of chronic pharyngitis better than Western medicine. Currently, most Western medicine treatments are for temporary control of the disease, but taking too many antibiotics is harmful to the human body because the abuse of antibiotics may lead to an imbalance of normal flora in the throat.

Why do I always feel like there is something choking in my esophagus? Patients with chronic pharyngitis are often troubled by long-term discomfort in the throat. The main symptoms include: foreign body sensation in the throat (therefore chronic pharyngitis is also called laryngeal bulb disease), sore throat, red and swollen throat, dry throat, itchy throat and cough, and hoarseness in severe cases. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that chronic pharyngitis is a disease caused by heat and toxins in the body spreading upward to the throat, causing blockage of the meridians in the throat. Traditional Chinese medicine uses drugs that clear away heat, detoxify, and clear the throat to treat chronic pharyngitis. After correct diagnosis and diet therapy, Chinese medicine will have a better therapeutic effect.
