Esophagitis: You may have esophagitis or stricture( narrowing of your esophagus) you need to follow up with your primary care provider for further evaluation, I hope this helps.

Hi. I have extreme pain in my throat all the way down to my diafragm. When I swallow, I can feel the food go down and it is painful. Even when I breathe it is almost like heartburn. It is not sinus.
