Q: I continually vomit (every few mins) after food appears to get stuck in throat

I believe I have acid reflux, but ocassionally when I'm eating something (or drinking) there is a feeling of it getting stuck, then I might have hiccups and the feeling clears or, worse, I am physically sick, and this can continue everytime I swallow or try to take on fluids, ie evry few minutes and can take hours before stopping. I have taken proton pump inhibitors before although this doesn't stop this reaction

Hello! It is best to check in with your doctor about your symptoms. The symptoms you are describing may be related to acid reflux or something else. Getting a proper diagnosis is the first step.
