What causes difficulty in swallowing food and water after having chest pain?
Patient: i got mild chest pain in left side 2 days before. now i feel little difficulty while sollowing food, drinking water, even while sneezing. I have acidity problem only while morining brush [vomit feeling] from last 6 months and have takesn no treatment for the same. Would like to get your opition for the same. Doctor: Hello, you mentioned you have difficulty swallowing solids and liquids . Is it really only for past 2 days or u had difficulty even before that ? Do u really feel that your food gets stuck when it finds it's way down your throat or food pipe and isn't going down properly as it used to  ? Is it like initially you had difficulty swallowing solids and then it progressed to difficulty in swallowing liquids as well or it happened for both solids and liquids at once ?Did you have any episodes of vomiting ? Is there pain during swallowing or only difficulty ? What's your age? Any addiction to smoking or alcohol ? Do you have any other respiratory complaint apart from the chest pain you mentioned ? Your symptoms need detailed evaluation . Difficulty in swallowing can be due to issues with your throat or food pipe or something compressing on your food pipe from outside (example - enlargement of lymph nodes around your food pipe or any other growth ) or it can be due to motility disorders of your food pipe (Achalasia cardia) . There are many possibilities so I would suggest you consult a physician in person .
