Esophagus problem: Esophageal pain often goes to this area. Check it out soon with a Gastroenterologist. Meanwhile avoid caffeine alcohol citrus juice and bedtime meals. Chew 5 Altoid peppermints with 2 tablespoons of milk of magnesia (magnesium hydroxide) to stop the pain. Avoid peppermint otherwise
