i have esophageal achalasia so basically it means that i have this every time i eat. my esophagus doesn’t move involuntarily so for me, food just sticks to my esophagus and gravity pulls it down. it sounds terrible i know, but i’ve learned to live with it. in normal humans usually it just a spasm of the muscle but if it happens a lot then i recommend seeing a doctor
