A member asked:
When i eat it feels like my food lodges behind my left breast. it is very painful ! what could this be?

See your PCP soon: This can mean several things-but the most concern is that there is a narrowing of the gullet. This narrowing may be due to spasm, and hiatus hernia-or chronic reflux and scarring of the gullet. More importantly, this can also be due to a growth in the gullet- you should seek medical attention and get this defined quickly to be sure it is not serious
