Why do I experience food swallowing pain at 30 weeks pregnant?

Patient's Query

Why do I feel food is stuck in my throat and feel pain when we swallow food during 30weeks pregnant

Answered by Dr. Samrat Jankar

When you are pregnant, the feeling of food is caught in the throat and a sense of pain when swallowing it is most likely caused by acid reflux. It occurs when the stomach acid erupts back to the esophagus which could make you feel like food is stuck and also can cause pain. It leads to a sensation of being unable to swallow and a painful state. One method to relieve it is by eating less and avoiding spicy foods as well as standing or sitting for some time after a meal. If the symptoms persist, seek advice from a gastroenterologist.

If someone swallowed a small rubber band by mistake will it cause any issues

Female | 24

Swallowed a tiny rubber band? No need to worry! It usually passes through your body without any issues, and you might not even notice it. However, if you experience stomach pain, nausea, or difficulty passing stool, seek medical attention immediately, as it could indicate a blockage.

I have stomach pain and visit doctor and take medicine but I can't feel better

Female | 23

Different things such as indigestion, gastritis, or infections can cause stomach pains. When you go back to your doctor this time you let the doctor know that what they gave you last time did not work. The doctor might need to run more tests so they can find out what’s happening and give you something that’ll make you feel better.

Vomiting, headaches, and pain on her right side can mean she has pancreatitis, which is very serious. Take her to the hospital now. They’ll be able to find out what’s wrong and make her feel better. Also, bring along her insulin and any medicine she takes for high blood pressure.

Problems with the gallbladder can be difficult. If they’re left untreated, there is a slight chance that it may burst which could be very serious. When this happens you’ll have piercing pain all over your stomach area, fever and feel weak all the time. Dealing with the infection before anything else is vital.

Female | 29

It looks like you damaged your gastric mucosa or, perhaps, you have a stomach ulcer. It is crucial to see a gastroenterologist as quickly as you can for the accurate root cause of your symptoms and the best treatment. In the interim, it would be wise to steer clear of foods that may irritate your stomach and drink a good amount of water to remain hydrated.

Male | 18

Piles are a prevalent health issue where the vessels around the last part of the large intestine become inflamed. The signs are greatly distressing and may involve such feelings as pain, itching, or the passage of blood during defecation. Sometimes the condition arises due to excessive tension on the toilet, ongoing diarrhea or constipation, or the result of sitting for long periods. The typical lines of treatment include the consumption of fiber-rich foods, water intake, and application of creams or ointments for pain relief. Surgery is necessary to solve such issues in the worst-case scenario.

Male | 16

You mentioned numerous problems that have tortured you in the last 2-3 months - like nausea, fullness after a meal, and heartburn. That can be a sign of anxiety. However, you say that they tend to become aggravated during high-pressure situations such as exams that may lead to that. Anxieties can lead to digestion problems and anticorrelated symptoms. Do some techniques like deep breathing or walking to reduce the stress level. Smaller and more frequent meals can also be of help to avoid your pain.
