I am experiencing sharp pain around the area where my esophageal sphincter is located after i ate pasta really fast due to a time limit and i did not chew the pasta thoroughly before swallowing. is there permanent damage and will it heal on its own?

GI: Take Zantac 150 mg in the morning first dose now then follow up with a Gastroenterology doctor if pain does not resolve. If your pain is 10/10 go to the ER for evaluation.
