Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history Of having severe pain on the right side of upper abdomen when swallowing - the pain is sudden, making you weak and tired, not eating anything - wants to know the reasons.
The most probable reason looks to be :
Severe lower esophagitis may be secondary to hiatus hernia or reflux.
Upper GI endoscopy.
Barium swallow and manometry tests will give an added information.
I would advise you the following:
Get the upper GI endoscopy.CT scan of the chest to rule out any other pathology.
PPI like Omeprazole,
Domperidone.
Antacid every three hourly.
Get an opinion of a Gastroenterologist for proper diagnosis and proper treatment.
