I would consult with Physician. Evaluation and possibly X-rays might be in order to help gain some understanding of your situation.

you need to consult a physician ; you will need evaluation of your esophagus /food pipe for any abnormalities. Other tests might also be needed like xray shoulders, electrocardiogram. Try to avoid ingesting very hot, smoky food and chew your food thoroughly before swallowing.
