Hiatal hernia ?: Your description sounds like a piece of the food was stuck in the esophagus and this can present with the mid chest pain you describe. At age 46 heart disease is a legitimate concern. If the pain is not going away or if you have pain in the jaw or left arm or shoulder blade then call 911 you would need to rule out a heart attack. Generally make sure you chew your food well.
