chest pain when swallowing

Hi I am having problems swallowing food ,initially early last year I had a swollen foot then when I did regular exercises it left and I had stomach ache then later I had serious chest pain now all that has left all I have is difficulties in swallowing pls I need help on what could be wrong with me

I don't smoke. I eat decently. I exercise. I don't have history of cancer in my family. But, I have a chest pain. It's severe, sometimes. It hurts right between my breast, especially when I breathe deeply (or it worsens when I do.) and when I press it, or put pressure there. Sometimes the pain actually moves to be more on my breast, or it will be right below, on my ribcage. Any ideas of what could be going on?

some times i felt severe pain in my chest while swallowing my salaiva meanwhile at the same time I tried to BELCH but it becomes difficult because the air got strucked under my Throat.

Throat or chest pain that occurs every time you swallow is less likely to be related to heart disease and more likely to be related to your esophagus or swallowing mechanism. I suggest that you talk to your doctor and share your concerns.

May I suggest about the difficulty swallowing and chest pain, you may want to get a referral (which I think your family doctor will go along with) to a gastrointestinal specialist to get diagnostic testing to confirm or rule out the diagnosis of acid reflux? Esophageal spasms can feel like you are having a heart problem.

I've had a cold for about a week now. A few days ago I went to the dr cause I started having pain a few seconds after swallowing (right chest area) it doesn't hurt to breathe.... Just feels heavy. Dr thought I was developing bronchitis but I've been on antibiotics for 4 days now with no improvement.

Does it b hard to swallow food if its heartburn. I have a pain in my thraot going down to my chest.

t cause my throat to hurt. I would have chest pain but not throat pain or difficulty swallowing. I might be concerned that you have some acid erosion from acid reflux damaging your esophagus. This is an issue that could trigger pvcs due to the vagus nerve so I would go see your doctor or a gastroenterologist to get your throat checked out.

At the top of the list should be the drop attacks, tachycardia, chest pain, breathing issues and swallowing issues. Those are the some of the big hitters they look for when deciding whether you need to have decompression surgery or not.

But, I never had any pain when swallowing. It was always just pain when I laid a certain way, moved my arm wrong, or picked up something a little too heavy. I've been to the doctor for it and she would always prescribe pain pills. To her, it sounded like my arm healed wrong, after being pulled out of socket. And, because of that, it was causing a lot of inflammation build ups.

I woke up and the pain I felt when swallowing lasted a week. It was awful. The dr said the acid came up and hurt my throught. It hasn't happened since. Good luck feel better!

I have had the problem of swallowing my food part, and I have had pain in my chest when I do. I also have problems with choking on my food. I have even had problem just swallowing my own saliva, but now that I think about it I have never told my neuro about it. Guess that is something I should write down to mention to him. There are so many symptoms to keep track of and I can't even remember what I had for breakfast much less what has happened to me in the month since my visit to him.

It started yesterday with a little feeling of bump on my left side of the throat. Now when I woke up it feels like a freaking fork is stuck on the left side of my throat. I can't hardly swallow and when I do it feels like somebody is stabbing me hard on my throat. Worse is the fact that I think it has crept down even further my throat and my chest heavier then it has ever been. I can only tolerate soup and nothing else.

You should have an angiogram (cath or ct scan) to rule out any occlusions that obstruct the blood flow to heart cells' usually chest pain (angina) related to the heart occurs with exertion and there is relief with rest. Chest pain can be due inflammation of the sac surrounding your heart (pericarditis), a short-lived condition often related to a viral infection. Coronary spasm, also known as Prinzmetal's angina, can cause varying degrees of chest discomfort.

I had this happen many times. Pain when swallowing too cold drinks. One time drinking a Starbucks Frappicino, The pain was excruciating enough to pass me out on the floor of Starbucks. Now I am careful not to drink very cold drinks and I warm up ice cream in my mouth before swallowing. It is Vagus nerve, spasm, which is near heart.

Of late, experienced more frequently atypical chest pain and much burping, wind etc which can last two or three hours and seemingly appears at random. Perhaps unsurprisingly often worse after food and movement. Had endoscopy, no hiatus hernia, and now await manometry test. Suggestion is it could be involuntary air intake , dysphagia mentioned, (no difficulty swallowing) causing build up of wind, hence pain, this makes sense but why? No heart problem.
