No ignore chest pain: Chest pain is nothing to ignore! the potential origin of your symptoms includes: heart, lungs, mediastinum, esophagus, musculoskeletal, pericardium (sac around the heart), pleuritis, bronchiitis, or referred pain from a remote site. Your doctor will be concerned about accompanying fever, blood with coughing, vomiting, shortness or breath, difficulty reclining, tenderness. Get checked please asap.

Gastroenterologist: It is of great concern when a patient has constant problems getting food through the esophagus and into the stomach. It suggests a blockage from scar tissue or a tumor. At times it's due to dysfunction of the esophageal muscles. An evaluation by a gasroenterologist is urgently needed.
