What Is The Treatment For Chest Pain And Difficult Breathing?

Through the years (in my 20's) I have always have problem swallowing pills, it feels like they were stuck in my thoat. I would take 5 full glasses of water and still it is not helping. I would eat anything to flush it down but I still feel the pill is in my throat. Now I am 45 I could actually feel something in there and developed some pain sensation in my chest and or have to breathed harder (with obvious slight pain) with a feeling I am not getting enough Oxygen. What trouble am I on?

Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
By your history and description, possibility of esophageal spasm or esophageal motility disorder is more.
The most common cause for this is stress related.
So in my opinion, you should first get done upper GI (gastrointestinal) scopy with manometry (pressure study) and motility study.
Also consult psychiatrist and get done counseling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
