Could Hurt In Esophagus While Drinking Indicate Esophageal Cancer?
I have been under a lot of stress the last few weeks.
A few days ago, I noticed it hurt in my esophagus when I drank liquid.
Often just the first few swallows. Then less bad.
I have had GERD a few years ago.
No problems since. I do have slight hiatal hernia.
My mother and her brother died from Esophagul cancer
in their 70's. I am 53, but concerned.
I eat healthy, no drinking, but marital strife.
