   Hi I am 53yrs old and for the past4 months ago i started having chest pain and have been

   cleared for any heart problems, i am now having tests for Asthma as i was getting breathless sometimes. I now find that certain

   foods like bread, apples or any hard fruit seems to stick in my chest area which is very

   painful, I go to the hospital in 2weeks time for asthma tests but i dont think i have asthma.

   Also when i burp it can be painful in my chest just over my breastbone. I am now thinking I

   may have something wrong with my oesophagus but the thought of having a camera down my

   throat terrifies me.

   thanks margie

   Sounds like a Hiatus Hernia

   Hi I also had chest pain for a short time and then the feeling of having food getting stuck . I had a endoscopy and am now on mediction and feel much better . The endoscopy itself is of course something you will be worried about . I was given the option of sedative which I chose to have and although the procedure is uncomfortable for a while it is soon over and you will be well looked after . Well worth having having to avoid developing something serious later on .
