Can a pill get stuck?

Question

I swallowed an antibiotic today and it feels like it got stuck 1/2 way down. It hurt for hours. I have had this happen before. It feels like it's either stuck or there is a huge burp trying to come out. Sometimes I get hiccups from it and it stimulates my vegas nerve making me black out. Is it the pill getting stuck or did it do damage on the way down?

Answer 1

Drink milk or lots of water when that happens and yes it can happen. More than likely if it did damage you would feel more pain.
