What Causes A Sharp Pain In Oesophagus While Eating?

I am having trouble eating at times. It feels like the food is catching sometimes in my esophagus. I get a sharp pain that feels like the food is caught, the pain eventually subsides after 15-20 seconds. If I am careful and chew up my food a lot and eat slowly I don t seem to have the problem
