Hello!
Thank you for asking on HCM! I read your question and understand your concern.
His symptoms seem to be related to an esophageal problem (an abnormal contraction or spasm) or an obstruction from a lesion .
I would recommend to perform a fibrogastroscopy and an x ray of the esophagus with oral contrast. This would help to establish the diagnosis.
Hope to have been of help!
