A member asked:
I had a couple of beers for the first time in 5-6 months. (normally i drink liquor) the first beer went down fine but 2-3 sips into the second beer i developed chest pain and a ton of heavy thick phlegm. could this have been an allergic reaction?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Chest pain: This reaction had more of the characteristics of a spasm of the esophagus than an allergic reaction. If the chest distress subsided after some minutes without wheezing it would also point toward an esophageal spasm. In other words,I would expect a true allergic reaction to last longer. However I can understand your concern especially if you've never experienced an esophageal spasm in the past.
