This occurs with acid reflux (GERD).  Food tends to get stuck when eating and it's very scary. I'm not a doctor but have watched my husband endure exactly what you are and it was reflux.  He was put on Prilosec and it never happens anymore.  But talk to your doctor to be sure and best wishes.

Welcome to the gastroenterology community!  How old are you?  This is not normal and if foods are getting stuck in your esophagus this needs to be checked out by a doctor ASAP.  Dietary changes aren't going to help this very much.  Please talk to your mom about this and ask her to take you to see a doctor.
