I've been having this weird issue for the past two months where my stomach feels like it's beating, kind of like a heartbeat. It's freaking me out a little, and I'm not sure what's causing it. Could you help me understand what's going on and what I should do about it?

I'm really worried about my grandmother. She's 56 and has diabetes. Last year, while she was swallowing her prescribed pills, one got stuck in her food pipe. This went unnoticed until it happened a second time, so we thought it might be a stroke. We took her to an ENT specialist and all tests, like the CT scan, came back normal. But now it has happened twice again, first with pills and then with food. This time the doctor has suggested an endoscopy. We haven't done it yet. Could you help me understand what might be going on with her?
