What Causes Mild Pain In The Chest While Swallowing?
Hi, Just today I have had a dull pain in the centre of my chest only when swallowing, I noticed it about 9 hours ago when I had a cup of tea and since then the pain has continued when I ve drunk hot or cold drinks. I don t appear to have any discomfort when eating. I don t recall my hot drink to be scalding but it has just been all of a sudden today
Let me know your age. I would advise you to drink lots of water. Take 1 glass of water every morning once you get up and one glass 30 mins before breakfast. You might be developing acidity that is why you are experiencing such issue. I would also recommend you to start on antacids for few days if this is hindering your daily activity.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Shumayla Aslam
