Question
Hello doctor,
About a year and a half ago, I started to have a full stomach, indigestion and food stuck in the esophagus at the throat and sometimes even choke on food and saliva suddenly. suddenly. This symptom appears when I eat rice and food more than 1 bowl of rice or eat more food after 1 bowl of rice. If I only eat 1 bowl and stop, I can still eat more fruit or drink more water but absolutely cannot eat more starch and protein. My weight is still in the normal range with a slight loss of 2 pounds since the occurrence of that condition.
My body is often in a tired state, feeling lack of sugar and needing to add sweets like milk or candy to wake up. I took the pulse of oriental medicine, my body was severely cold, so my blood circulation was poor and I used to treat cerebral circulatory insufficiency due to body weakness because of staying up late for a long time. The doctor told me what is the cause of indigestion, food is stuck in the esophagus right at the throat? The doctor advised me how to treat this disease. I would like to thank a lot sir.
