GERD? Heart burn? Chest pain

Are you experiencing the sensation of food feeling stuck, as you described it, when you eat? Or did you use that as an example only?

I ask this because if you are experiencing frequent heartburn it is certainly possible that your esophagus has become inflamed and thus food can get stuck or slowed. Or when food passes the inflamed area, the area can become further irritated causing pain. GERD can most certainly cause chest pain. It sounds like you are saying this is a different pain than the "heartburn" you are accustomed too. It is true that an esophagus that has been damaged or inflamed with cause pain that can feel different than the typical "burning" associated with heartburn.

For myself, I have never once experienced "heartburn" as burning. Rather I feel sharp chest pains and dull aching pain in my ribs/back/chest.

If you suspect you have GERD and frequent heartburn would suggest you do, I would schedule an appointment with your doctor to get you going down the right path to treatment.

Cheers!

You really need to go and see your doctor sounds like your inflamed  and foods irritating as it goes down I'm getting this problem myself but medication as stopped helping so waiting to see s gastroenterologist 

What you’re describing is called Dysphagia. It’s considered an “alarm symptom”. It could indicate a number of conditions—strictures, eosinophilic esophagitis, esophageal dysmotility, achalasia, and cancer, among others. You will want to make an appointment with your doctor and schedule an EGD. It is unlikely to be very serious, but could become quite serious if it is not investigated and treated appropriately. 

Hi, I wonder if it could be esophageal spasm. I’ve been diagnosed with that and I’ve been told that the pain mimics a heart attack. Perhaps you could ask your gp about it. I had various heart tests (scan, ecg, stress test and heart monitor for 2 weeks) to rule out anything like that. I am now taking amytriptyline and saldinifal to help with the spasms so if it is that, your Gp might try something like that. Good luck.
