Hello,
From what I can make of your symptoms, it is most likely esophageal spasm. Do you generally eat in a hurry? I would advise you to eat your food slowly after chewing properly. Also, how long have the symptoms persisted for?
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Raunak Saha
