Ugh, that sounds horrible. And I thought I had it bad. I haven't pursued any other diagnostics since this all started. It sounds like I might have 1 of your dysfunctions...where food gets stuck on the way down at the esophagus and yes...it feels like a heart attack. Super painful. I suspect that, after a plethora of tests, they either won't find anything or, like you, won't be able to do anything about it. Do you take any meds for any of this? Thank you for reaching out

I have no reflux thank goodness, however the one surgery that can fix lower esophagus (cutting the muscle) will then cause severe reflux.
The only thing that helps with chest pain is Clonazepam (I have tried nitro, calcium channel blockers but no relief.
I absolutely cannot take any NSAIDS due to it causing tremendous pain.
