Could be a problem: with chronic acid reflux into your esophagus causing some scarring at the distal end or actual narrowing of your esophagus (esophageal stricture) trapping food stuff from coming down smoothly. The reaction of dizziness, with chest and back pain is called a vasovagal response and is caused by your esophagus spasming trying to get the food to go down. You should see a gastroenterologist (GI) ASAP.
