You describe: Solid food dysphagia ...Possibly due to chronic inflammation from acid reflux but there are several possible causes. This condition needs evaluation by your primary care doctor or a gastroenterologist.

Hi. I've been feeling heartburn and pain when drinking and swallowing. Also, a sharp pain in my left side of the chest radiating down to my stomach. More like a burning sensation or similar. Almost feels like my liquids or foods touch my heart.
