Esophageal spasm: While Coke Zero can be delicious, there are ingredients which can trigger muscle spasm in the esophagus, which really can happen with almost anything. But the carbonation and "zing" in Coke may trigger it more often. It can be very painful. It may never happen again. Just take a deep breath, try to relax to relax the spasm, and drink some water if able.
