For < 24hrs sharp pain in the left center chest area only happens about 2 sec after swallow, hate docs, help? Only ate maple brn sugar mini wheats and spicy cajun peanuts (in shell) yesterday before it started hurting. Kinda feels like gas but too high, it's about an inch left of the center of my chest and runs from about 3 inches below the colarbone down another 3-4 inches. Sometimes feels higher or lower, burping doesn't help tried hanging upside down. No fever or any other symptoms, back pain but I am pretty sure it is unrelated as it hurt for several days before due to a fall. Doesn't hurt to breathe or cough or turn sideways or talk or anything else like that, just about two seconds after swallowing. Any suggestions besides "seek professional help immediately" I have a doc apptmnt for next Monday, earliest available.

Summarized question: What will stop pain after swallowing that started after eating spicy food?
