What Causes Pain In Esophagus With Blocked Feeling?

Hello, I have been having pain in my esophagus. It first started 2 weeks ago. I felt it the first time at night around 9pm. Then a week later I felt it again around 11pm. It was very intense pressure/pain as if someone was squeezing my esophagus. It almost feels like a swallowed a huge pill or piece of food and it s just stuck part way down the esophagus. For the past 5 days I feel the pain/pressure constantly but it s at a much lower level. What do you think it might be?

Hello,
Sounds like GERD causing esophageal spasm.
Try to take gaviscon and pantoprazole. This would control the acid reflux.
