I feel slight pain in my chest when i swallow food. I am 26 male and single. I don't drink nor smoke. I am not a vegetarian. I am an asthmatic but it isn't severe. The chest pain started not more than a month. At times too i feel like my heart is increased in size to fit it's place. Please help me with answers
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic. I can understand your concern. By your history and description, we should definitely rule out esophageal obstructive pathology like nodule or mass or cyst. These kind of lesions cause difficulty in swallowing. These lesions also reduce mediastinal space. So it can give symptom of heart not fitting in place. So better to get done chest x ray and upper GI (gastrointestinal) scopy to find out the cause for this. If both are normal then no need to worry for these symptoms. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
