Something stuck: This really sounds like a fishbone or something is lodged deep in your esophagus. If this is even a remote possibility, you will need to have an exam and get it removed. Meanwhile, try soft bulky foods like bread, banans, marshmallows...maybe you can dislodge it. Good luck!

Your symptoms need: more advanced evaluation and testing than can be provided over the internet. Make an appointment with your health care professional as soon as possible for appropriate testing and examination.
