Possibilities: Two possibilities come to mind. One is an esophageal motility disorder which can cause upper back and arm radiation. A gastroenterologist can look into this. The other possibility is a bulging intervertebral disc or spur in the neck pressing on a nerve root during swallowing. An MRI of the verterbrae in the neck checks for this cause. I favor the first possibility if you have no symptoms otherwis
