Have you ever felt a sudden dull pain in your chest or started hiccupping uncontrollably after eating? These aren’t just social embarrassments; they are serious signals from your body to slow down. Behind "chest pain from eating too fast" lies the reality of esophageal and gastric pressure.

1. Why the Hiccups? Diaphragm Irritation

When you wolf down food, a massive volume of material and air enters the stomach quickly. The stomach expands rapidly and presses against the diaphragm. This physical irritation causes the diaphragm to spasm, resulting in hiccups. Read more about the dangers: 3 Harms of Eating Too Fast.

2. Chest Pain: Esophageal Traffic Jam

Your esophagus is a rhythmic, muscular tube. When you eat unchewed chunks, they act like oversized cargo in a narrow passage, causing intense contractions that can mimic the feeling of angina. This not only hurts but can lead to long-term inflammation.

3. How to Clear the Alarm

The only real solution is to turn every bite into a liquid-like consistency before swallowing.
