What Causes Chest Pain, Dizziness And Blurred Vision While Eating?

My husband was eating and he had sudden pain in middle of chest. He then had blurred vision and dizziness. His vision is fine now just headache. If he tries to eat or drink he gets sharp pain in chest. Is food stuck that far down and what should we do? Did take asprin and zantac to try to relieve pain.

Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your husband's situation and problem.
By your history and description, possibility of either acute gastritis or cardiac disease is more.
So better to get done ecg and 2d echo to rule out cardiac cause.
If both are normal then he is mostly having acute gastritis and GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease).
So ask him to avoid stress and tension. Avoid large meals and take frequent small meals. Avoid hot and spicy food. He may need proton pump inhibitors and prokinetic drugs.
These are prescribed medicines, so consult doctor for their prescription.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wishing good health to your husband.
Thanks.
