A member asked:

I have a burning sensation below my right shoulder blade as i swallow. it only last as long as a few seconds?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Esophagus: This may be a type of mild esophageal motility symptom or tiny spasm as the discomfort can be referred to the upper back rather than be felt in the front of the chest. If your symptoms become more frequent and more uncomfortable, consult a gastroenterologist for evaluation and advice.
