If you can: swallow water and some bread then it is not stuck. You may have a scratch in the esophagus that is causing the symptoms.

Go to ER: If you are having pain you might have to have it pushed down with an endoscope to avoid damage to your esophagos. It will take a long time to dissolve.

Well...: You may have developed a mild spasm of the esophagus in that area, You can try drinking fluids. If it is more than 4 hours you may want to be examined by a Dr.
