Chest pains after I put anything (food or liquid) down my throat?!


Question: Chest pains after I put anything (food or liquid) down my throat?
I've been getting chest pains when I eat or drink anything. It feels like the food just gets stuck in my chest and just lingers there for awhile. It feels like a really bad cramp. I just got an endoscopy yesterday. Is there a chance that the esophagus is just irritated? It's only been going on for today so not really much reason to worry at this point.

Answers:

After an upper endoscopy (the tube down the throat like you had), you will definitely have irritation for 2-3 days afterward. Try sipping ice cold juice/water etc. Stay away from carbonated beverages, or anything that have too much sweet/sour flavoring. I've had many done in my life, and sometimes it is worse than others. I hope everything came out okay.
