A member asked:
Esophageal sphincter spasams and pain question. i had a small piece of spiral ham and then took a 2 1/2 mile walk. but during that time my chest became tight in that center area like i swallowed something wrong.can this cause spasms and heartburn?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It can be pain due to esophageal spasm (not sphincter spasm) or an atypical chest pain which is precipitated by exertion. I can't confirm the relationship between eating spiral ham and your symptom. If symptom recurs, see your doctor for a thorough evaluation.
