Hello,
I think the pain in your back and oesophagus as you call it, is due to stomach hyperacidity (most probably acid reflux). You can have an antacid or soda drink and wait if any improvement.
If no betterment should see your doctor. In that case, you might need upper endoscopy for final diagnosis and treatment strategy.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
