Try to take a deep breathe and look at it logically.
How old are you and what is wrong??
Im 29 and normally in good health.
Last week when i was eating my dinner it started to hurt in my chest when i swallowed. Every mouthful. Its still doing it now a week later. I did what i would normally do about every thing and googled in and you can guess what i read.
Its not a really bad pain, more an dull ache like it feels like food/liquid is passing over an irritated spot and it radiates through my back.
im scaring myself so much

It's probably just indigestion or reflux Hun - have you had problems with that before?
I take Nexium for acid reflux and it really helps. Try not to think the worst because it generally never is xxx
No never had anything like that before, it started from literally one swallow to the next. At first i thought id taken a too big mouthful or maybe burnt it a bit but it wont go away so is playing in my mind xx

Well the chances are stacked against you for having it so try to push it to the back of your mind until you see the doctor (easier said then done I know xxx).
Thank you for responding xx
This kind of cancer is very rare for your age and would normally affect people much older and heavy smokers/drinkers etc. try not to worry and panic and relax. Tensing and fixating that area is bound to make swallowing strange. If I focus on an area of my body long enough I can make it hurt!!! Xx
I was getting that too, I had a scope and they didn't even find reflux!!indigested maybe

Did it eventually stop?
Im still googling i should really stop xx
if it was cancer, I doubt it would happen between mouthfuls - it would be more of a buildup of symptoms.
Could you have swallowed a sharp piece of food or something?

please stop googling,it DOES NOT help.I am the worlds worst and have wrongly diagnosed myself with breast and ovarian cancer and my 3yr old son with leukemia.Thank God I was wrong every time.But whenever I look on google then along comes a panic attack which then makes the symptoms much worse.Please try and stay calm,easier said than done I know,but youre young and healthy,keep that in mind,take care sweetie,keep us updated,here if you need xx
