Why does it hurt in the center of my chest, especially when im eating/swallowing food?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Esophagus is there: Esophagus=food tube from mouth to stomach, runs down the middle of your chest. See your PCP or Gastroenterologist. You will need a scope( a camera) to go there and see what’s wrong. Call tomorrow for apt. or go to ER if food gets stuck.
