What is this pain in my chest when sallowing?
Category: Angina & Chest Pain
For a few days I have had chest pains when eating or especially when drinking water fast it doesn’t hurt too long but is a very sharp pain. The pain is located in the middle of my chest. Could this be something serious? Or something that will go away soon? Please help!

Ask your dr to request a chest x-ray to see if there is any inflammation inside. It also could be gas, so try Beano or something like that to break it up.
While my father has pain in his chest when swallowing, we found out that there is a tumor in his esophagus – so it has to be operated on.
Also, you may have eaten something that aggravated your insides. Watch what you eat for a week, then request an cat scan or xray of your chest to be sure. Other tests like endoscopies can determine what’s going on if this problem persists…If anything, you probably have heart burn or acid reflux which causes a lot of pain when the food goes down.
