Has anyone had problems with their esophagus? I only ask because for the past four days I've been getting an awful pain just behind my breast bone after I swallow anything, including my own saliva.
It started suddenly on Monday afternoon about three hours after eating. I've hardly eaten or drunk anything since it started as it's so painful. It doesn't feel like heartburn, just pain as if there is something there.
Been to see the GP and was prescribed Gaviscon Advance but this hasn't helped; I've been taking it for the past 4 months anyway for throat/reflux problems.
Getting a bit desperate now as I'm feeling increasingly weak due to lack of food and water. Hope you can help?
