What Causes Discomfort In Swallowing Food?
At times when I am eating and I swallow my food it is like it is stuck in my throat and feels like it tears from the middle of my throat area down below my breast area. And it takes a few minutes for it to stop. I have noticed that it does it more often if I am eating bread or meats or greasy spicy foods.

Hi, thanks for your query. According to your history, it looks like you might be having gastritis with oesophageal ulcer which is causing chest pain while swallowing food.
It needs medical evaluation.
I would suggest you consult with the doctor and get upper GI endoscopy done to rule out gastritis, ulcet or any other disease.
Treatment is by using proton pump inhibitors + prokinetcs drug for 6 weeks.
Hope my answers have helped you. Thanks.
