Several things: This should be evaluated by your primary doctor (and possibly gastroenterologist). This could be ulcer, viral infection, fungal infection, bacterial infection, or allergic inflammation. Your doctor may just start you on medications or may decide you need to have an endoscopy (where a camera is placed into your mouth and down into your stomach).

Hi. I've been feeling heartburn and pain when drinking and swallowing. Also, a sharp pain in my left side of the chest radiating down to my stomach. More like a burning sensation or similar. Almost feels like my liquids or foods touch my heart.
