[|Human|] when my husbank was eating dinner, he suddenly had trouble swallowing and a large pain in his chest, below the breast section, in the middle. He tried drinking water, and couldn t swallow, then he tried to take little sips of 7 up, and was able to get that down. After, he was able to drink water in sips. What would have caused this?
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your husbands situation and problem. Sudden onset dysphagia (difficulty in swallowing) and central chest pain, are seen in esophageal spasm, Andalusia cardiac, esophageal perforation or severe HERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease). So better to consult gastroenterologist immediately and get done barium swallow and upper GIs copy. Treatment is based on diagnosis. So first diagnose himself and then start appropriate treatment. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your husband. Thanks.
