Hello,
Please check it out that this pain may look like cardiac origin. The causes of esophageal pain are diffuse esophageal spasms , cardia, reflux disease et cetera.
First, we need to evaluate the cause and confirm that pain not originating from cardia. Please consult your physician he will take ECG, x-ray, and upper GI scopy and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu
