Taken Anti-acid Medicine After Choking On Steak. Chest Pain, Painful Breathing. What Can I Do?

Hi I swallowed a big piece of steak last night which caused me to choke, some of the food came up but the steak felt like it was stuck in my esophagus , it was really painful and I couldnt keep any water down after. I took some anti acid medicine and eventually I felt the steak shift and I could take water. Today I have really bad chest pains, it even hurts when I breathe deap, it feels like my espohagus is continuinely in a spasm . I am in a lot of pain, what can I do?

Injury, inflammation, ulceration to your lower eating pipe sphincter leading to incontinence of the sphincter and hence reflux of stomach contents as well as compensatory esophageal spasms causing pain. Visit a gastroenterologist and ask for a cure. meanwhile have liquid diet, avoid lying down post meals, avoid spicy foodstuff, avoid large meals.
