What Causes Difficulty In Swallowing?

I have been having increasing difficulty swallowing some foods. It started with breads, chicken, and I had to drink fluids frequently. At times it has felt like food is stuck mid sternum. I have had a few instances where there are increasing pain/discomfort, unable to swallow fluids, with vomiting of liquids/saliva till it moves distally. Any good advice?
