Does anyone else have a burning sensation in their throat after eating? Is this normal?

No, it is not normal, suggest you see your GP. This might be heartburn, try these links:

Thanks. I always though heartburn would hurt your heart not your throat but these links show it can cause throat burning. I'm learning more and more on this site

Hi, I agree it is not normal, there could be a number of reasons, acid reflux hiatus hernia, many , it does not mean you have them, just get it investigated, barium swallow perhaps.

Best wishes Helen

Thank you. Looks like I need another appointment with the GP...
