What could be causing my sudden, short-lasting chest pain and painful swallowing that feels like food is getting stuck, and could this be related to my scoliosis?
At 16, these symptoms are often related to the esophagus, such as temporary muscle spasms or irritation from acid reflux, rather than a heart issue. Sometimes, swallowing a pill without enough water can also cause this temporary irritation. While severe scoliosis can occasionally alter anatomy in the chest, it is less common for it to cause sudden swallowing pain. I highly recommend discussing this with a doctor or pediatrician. They can easily evaluate this and help you find relief.
