For the last 2 weeks or more I have been feeling a knot in my chest. When I eat a meal, I am hungary, but the so-called knot is hard to swollow past. Even when I drink a liquid hot or cold it is the same feeling. I have tried taking pepto bismol, gas x and tums but to no avail. There is a mild concern, since I do have some cardiac issues in my family hx.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Knot like feeling in chest while eating and Chat Doctor.  I don't think it is associated with cardiac diseases. So better to consult gastroenterologist and get done upper GI (gastrointestinal) copy and CT thorax to identify esophageal obstructive lesion. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
