What Can Cause Chest Discomfort After Having Cold Drinks?
I have discomfort in chest. Not constant. I dont feel out of breath or anything. Its like sinus pain in chest. Esp after cold drinks. Eating food does not give me discomfort. I do have more difficulty swallowing liquid though. Esp through a straw as well. Seems to be behind sternum inside. I tend to drink co!d or icy drinks, as its easier to swallow liquid. Hot or cold. Lukewarm is much harder ti drink.
By your history and description, you are having difficulty in swallowing liquids. You don't have any problems in eating food. You also have central chest discomfort. All these are seen with achalasia cardia. It is spastic narrowing of lower esophageal sphincter. So better to consult gastroenterologist and get done upper GI (gastrointestinal) scopy for the diagnosis of achalasia cardia.
