What are my stomach pain & cramps and back pain when I swallow food symptoms of?

Bloating Cures
I had ask a similar question before but I think wasn’t clear enough. In the last 5 days I started to get stomach pain & cramps and sharp back pain when I swallow food. Taking a sip of water helps with the feeling like the food is getting stuck. The pain only occurs when the food is being swallow, and not after I eat. I think its getting better with time but I’m not if it go away. I think I will see a doctor soon, but someone online told me most likely all the doctor will do is schedule me for testing a another week. I really want to know what are symptoms of since none of my symtoms don’t match any illness 100%.

It sounds like something may be causing your esophagus to be irritated. Reflux can do this and you could have erosion without knowing it. If your back pain is up high between your shoulder blades I would think GERD or gallbladder. Also you may have choked or something and the reason it is getting better is because your muscles are now relaxing. Try eating something really soft like ice cream and if that goes down easy but still causes pain I would think it would be a GI problem and reason for a visit to the doctor.

Please don’t panic, but difficulty in swallowing is a symptom of cancer. You need to see a doctor or a gastroenterologist to rule out anything serious. It could be heartburn that has irritated your esophagus. I am having a procedure on Monday where the doc goes down my throat with a scope to check on my esophagus. It isn’t as bad as it sounds, although it is no picnic. Please get checked out soon.
