Chest pressure: Given your data and your symptoms. It would be likely be suspicious of an esophageal problem given symptoms associated with eating and swallowing.

Further testing: An evaluation may include spirometry with and without a bronchodilator. The FEV1 and other values will improve with the bronchodilator if there is reactivity. Relief of symptoms with the medication is another indication of response.
