In a few instances when I eat rice I suddenly cant breath.  Its like air (burp) wants to come up but wont.Its been at different restaurants and different rices (although some are okay) so am wondering if thereare some additives that I could have this reaction to.
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor, The problem you mentioned could occur due allergic to food or obstructive pulmonary disease. It is the way our body to cause our diaphragm push against the stomach, when we fill our stomach with rice or certain food, it in turn pushes against our diaphragm making it hard to breathe. In normal people, means without any lung disease this could not occur because they have a better breathing capacity in their lungs. In my advice, i will suggest you to undergo routine blood count and chest X-ray to detect if there is any issue with lung parenchymal or not. So, consult chest physician to rule out whether it is just an allergy or due to some lung disease.
