Spanish term

enclavamiento esofagico del comprimido

Spanish to English Medical Medical (general)
la endoscopia digestiva alta es el metodo diagnostico de eleccion, con una sensibilidad muy superior a los estudios baritados, mostrando una clara demarcacion endoscopica entre la mucosa afectada y la normal que sugiere lesion por contacto directo de un agente caustico. Esta hipotesis es respaldada por el hecho que el 25% de los pacientes perciben el enclavamiento esofagico del comprimido.

feel the tablet stuck in their esophagus

Unless there is no real tablet and the sensation is imaginary, in which case the translation would be "feel as if **a** tablet is stuck in their esophagus."

agree Rachel Fell : I thought it might be that imaginary feeling - but 'agree' if there is one! Immaterial now of course...!

Thanks, Rachel. I thought about your suggestion, but I figured that the person would be more generic if it were imaginary and say "lump" instead of "tablet."
