Avatar n tn What is happening to me presently is that when I try to eat, there will be excruciating pain in my chest area, it will be as if the food has lodged, it will be there and shifting down so slowly and painfully, that even when water is taken, it does change the situation, it keeps moving very slowly until it drops. Sometimes when it drops and I take water, it could bring relief, this is not always.

Avatar f tn 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.

Avatar f tn back into my throat, i do feel a slight chest pain when i swallow food. I can feel the lump of food moving slowly down my throat and then experience pain in the middle of my chest as the food is moving further down. I feel very uncomfortable and have a heaviness in the chest at that time. Please advise.
Avatar m tn No regurgitation or stuck food or inability to pass food or liquids. This was accompanied with chest pain, back pain, abdominal pain and slow digestion (occasional constipation) I had a few episodes that felt like I was having a heart attack (chest pain, difficulty swallowing, feeling of intense fullness and anxiety) - on one occasion I went to the 24hr emergency care.
Avatar m tn The weird thing is when this started, it would come and go in about 3 month intervals. I would only feel the pain while swallowing down my food. It seems the bigger and more solid the food, the more i would feel the pain. It's been now been 6 months and it's been getting worse. I'm starting to feel it hurt randomly throughout the day. I've also started to feel the same pain on the left side around the same spot as the right. Drinking coffee seems to aggravate the pain.
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar f tn I did have some throat pain on the right side when I swallowed liquid...but had ni pain swallowing food. Why is that? Does anyone have any ideas? I get my blood test results and chest x-ray results tomorrow.

Avatar m tn I have had severe pain swallowing my food. I have even stopped eating foods high in fat & spices and there is no change. I have stomache pain so bad sometimes that I cannot sleep. Nothing seems to help. I also have pain to the touch in my chest area between my brests and under my brests in my rib area and on the sides under my underarms.. I have had ct scans in the past and ultra sounds to check my organs but nothing found. No stones or anything.
Avatar f tn I have been having reflux and difficulty swallowing for the past few months, esophageal spasms and chest pain. Last month I had an endoscopy done and everything look fine except it was constricted so they did a dialation. This didn't really help. I was taking Prilosec 2x a day now I am taking 60mg of Dexilant. The Dexilant is a minor improvement but not sure it's worth the cost. My GI thinks I might have a motility disorder. I can't see the specialist for about a month.
Avatar f tn My Hital hernia has been untreated for a while so the acid started to attack my esphogaus and giving me the pain in my chest feels like my food is stuck .. I am on a medicine called Protonix right now but it 's not helping as much as I thought it would. I was told by my mom that the doctors will play around with the medicine until they find the one that works for you . I was also informed that changing my diet will help as well.
Avatar m tn Sometimes got so worse that also infected my breath when I ate rice or bread or other dry food which stuck on my chest for one or 2 days. I had to rush to the ER for 3 times,but they could not help me also. And sometimes(just a few days)the symptom just disappeared with no reasons so I could eat anything like normal person. This swallowing difficulty symptom actually has been on and off for nearly 6 months because of over worried.
Avatar f tn They told me that she was probable allergic to the food so I changed that over the past 7 to 8 months I have tried every dry food there is. Did not work. So I have been taking and soaking the dry food and mixing in baby food for her she seems to have a problem with swallowing. The last few days she is only eating the baby food. But if you watch her she struggles with swallowing but yet they can't find anything wrong with her. It is costing me a fortune buying baby food for this cat.
Avatar f tn I have had extreme dysphagia (difficulty swallowing normal food along with constant feeling of a large lump in my throat) for 4 months now. This also causes me occasional ear and chest pain. I began with the gastroenterologist who completed a barium swallow and endoscopy, all they found was minor GERD. I then proceeded to the ENT who discovered I have base of tongue swelling on one side. They originally acted like this would definitely cause the symptoms I am having.
Avatar f tn It seems to be more on the right side of my sternum, I am not having any sweats, palpitations, no swallowing difficulties, it just hurts like heck. I have not noticed that any one food increases it except for coffee (which I know is very acidic). It is less painful when I get up and seems to increase through out the day. I did have a sinus infection prior to this starting and was on augmentin for it.
