Brief Answer:
Some esophageal narrowing can be the case.
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Thank you for the query.
Such symptoms can be caused by some narrowing in the esophagus. This can happen due to inflammation, diverticle, polyp or in rare cases due to a cancer. Esophageal cancer is more possible if you do smoke.
If you do suffer from anxiety, also this issue can cause such problems.
As you can see the reason can be something not serious as well as something very serious. That is why you need to have proper diagnostics.
Please consult gastroenterologist. Gastroscopy and/or barium swallow test should be done at first.
Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.

I also have ongoing sinus issue. For about a month now my nose is continually dripping then getting clogged up. Headaches, sinus pain around nose and behind eyes. Just started course of antibiotics for 2 days but nose is still running and stuffy. Do u know when these symptoms may subside. Sick of feeling tired and run down
Brief Answer:
If its allergic, antibiotic wont help.
Detailed Answer:
The point is that you do not know for sure if the sinus problem is caused by bacteria or by allergic reaction and mucosa swelling in the nose and sinuses. If its allergic, antibiotic wont help at all.
I suggest you to get some drips with antiinflammatory agent (like steroid) and blood vessel constricting agent. Should be available without prescription.
