Back pain after drin: For how long you have these symptoms?,Is the pain at the back of the chest? high back close to the neck, or low back. The symptoms of swallowing and pain may be related to a diverticulum (pouch) from the esophagus, or a narrowing. What about eating food? You need a contrast swallowing study, also an Upper endoscopy, done by a GI specialist. Do not delay the visit.

Consultation advised: Pain of gastric origin can be referred(felt in) the left upper back and lower posterior chest. It's not possible to speculate on the cause without more information from you. An online consultation at Health Tap may be helpful. VIDEO OR VOICE ONLY WOULD BE BEST. In box Text next best.(Be available to reply to questions). A text/chat is too slow and the least desirable http://bit.ly/1OiIRcI
