Some gastrointestinal disorders may present as atypical chest pain. This chest pain may not be related to the heart. Can be associated with gastroesophageal reflux (reflux of stomach acids) and esophageal spasm. In addition, chest pain can be caused when food or liquid gets stuck in the esophagus. Food may get stuck for many different reasons, the most common being stricture or narrowing in the bottom of the esophagus.
It's best to check with a doctor for a correct diagnosis.
