Got wrong diagnosis: If the pain is coming from your esophagus because of reflux from your stomach make sure you take some liquid antacid which will neutralize the acid on the way down to your stomach. If the pain is coming from your stomach food of any sort will initially help. Ulcers can be treated with 2 antibiotics and an antacid in about 5-6 weeks. If not better U may need gastroscopy. Good luck.

Hi. I've been feeling heartburn and pain when drinking and swallowing. Also, a sharp pain in my left side of the chest radiating down to my stomach. More like a burning sensation or similar. Almost feels like my liquids or foods touch my heart.
