is it digestion

revcently when I eat I feel that I have swallowed a large rock which stays in my chest and when I have a hot drink can really feel it going down, I am afraid to drink tonic water or lemonade as it seems that I am constantly wanting to burp, I have never had this before and also am awakened sometimes during the night with the awful feeling of having swallowed a rock, this is quite painful but surely cannot be down to indegestion, I also chew my food well so just cant think what is causing this, please can you help, I am otherwise quite healthy, thank you

Hi,
The symptoms you have could be due to gastroesophageal reflux disease or diffuse esophageal spasm.
Esophageal manometry and 24 hours pH monitoring may be done for evaluation.
