Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
You are having dysphagia (chest pain in swallowing).
Common causes for dysphagia are GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease), esophageal mass, esophagitis, achalasia cardia etc.
So better to consult gastroenterologist and get done upper GI (gastrointestinal) scopy fir the diagnosis of your symptoms.
Better to avoid hot and spicy food. Take pantoprazole tablet on empty stomach.
Further treatment will be directed on the diagnosis.
So consult gastroenterologist a. D first diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
