Some people get a stricture at the sphincter between esophagus and stomach, called a Schotskys ring, that prevents food from entering the stomach and can cause hiccups, feeling like food is coming back up (or it does), and caused by acid irritation from GErRD. It is treatable by stretching the stricture and works immediately. A GI dr does this. Clues are that chunks like meat, bread get stuck but soft food or liquids go down. Pay attention to what foods make it worse. You need a GI dr, PCP first if referral required.
