Esophagus: This episode was probably due to esophageal spasm. This may occur spontaneously relieved by swallowing water sometimes. On other occasions it may be precipitated by swallowing. The discomfort may be felt in front of the chest or between the shoulder blades. A gastroenterologist is best qualified to evaluate,advise and treat you for these episodes but in my experience zantac (ranitidine) or ppi's Don't help.

Esophagus: Your description sounds like a loss of coordination of the esophageal muscles. The esophagus is the tube from your mouth to your stomach. This lack of co ordination is termed tertiary movements. An imaging study called an esophagram would likely clarify this problem for you. Either your general internist or a gastrointestinal specialist could order this test.
