I have a reoccuring condition that sounds to be somewhat like esophageal spasms, but I'm not quite sure. For about 2 days, I have this feeling in my chest, under my breastbone. The only way I know how to describe it is like the feeling you get in your chest before you hiccup or burp, like there is air within that needs to be let out. This feeling is accompanied by a sore throat and a cough. For the first day I had the feeling in my chest, it was very minor, and uncomforable rather than painful. It progressed rapidly after that to being quite painful. The second night I had the pain, when I was lying down, the pain got even worse, and I was having trouble breathing. Breathing came more easily when I was sitting up, but there was no releif from the odd chest pain. Usually, before vommiting, you get that unmistakable feeling in your stomach, telling you that you'd better rush to the bathroom. Well, without so much as that feeling as a warning, I threw up. Immediately after vommiting, the chest pain was gone. This is the second time within 2 months that this has occured, happening exactly the same way both times. I am still in my early teens, so I'm assuming the pain isn't associated with a very serious condition, but I guess you never know. Any idea if my condition is esophageal spasms or something else? Any help is very much appreciated! Thank you!
