[|Human|] Ive never been able to drink sodas very fast becaue i get a tight feeling in my chest near my throat, it happens a lot more often when i drink alchoholic drinks.  I have a feeling its trapped air of sorts because i hiccup a lot and feel like a good burp would make me feel better (which ive never been able to do on command)
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. In my opinion you are having HERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease). It is due to laxity of gastroesophageal sphincter. Because of this, the acid of the stomach tends to come up in the esophagus and cause the burping sensation in the esophagus (throat). And alcohol actually deteriorate HERD. So better to avoid alcohol and start proton pump inhibitor. Avoid hot and spicy food. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals. Avoid stress and anxiety.Don't worry, you will be alright.
