Sometimes after i drink water (always cold) and breath in it starts to feel cold... almost like the water is going into my lungs. why would my chest feel cold after drinking water right when i breath in? i only feel the coldness if i breath in

Cold water: Dont worry. The esophagus is right behind the trachea( where you breathe) , so the cold likely transmits when you breathe in due to the negative pressure - like a wind. In fact when people have high temperature we cool them down by giving lukewarm water to the stomach( cold can cause shivering) https://www.webmd.com/digestive-disorders/picture-of-the-esophagus#1
