Always while eating or shortly after. I’ve been keeping track of it since April. It happens every 2 or 3 weeks. It has only happened two times at home and all the other times when I go out to eat. It’s also very random in regards to what I eat. Thanks for your reply! I’m trying to investigate as much as possible before my endoscopy.

Pay attention to how you eat as well as what you eat.
Are you eating too quickly?
Are you taking BIG bites?
Sometimes when we are distracted we eat differently.
Is the tv on.. is there a lot of conversation going on around you?
Does food seem to pause in portions of your throat and esophagus?
Does there seem to be any muscle spasms in your esophagus when you swallow?
Do you seem to be swallowing a lot of air when you swallow your food or drink?
Are you using a straw when you drink? It can cause you to swallow air.
Do you drink a lot of carbonated drinks?

@warrendog have you ever considered keeping a food and symptom journal? You may be able to pinpoint a particular ingredient or situation that sets off your pain. Perhaps just a pocket notebook you can keep in your car? Are you someone who is well-hydrated typically?
