Irritated esophogus caused by swallowing pill? Posted: 12-28-07 19:38pm
Ok, about 4 days ago, I was taking some
medicine. It was a capsule that had to be
swallowed. I was too lazy to fill up my
1/4 empty glass of water, so I tried to
swallow it with just a little bit of
water. When I was swallowing it, I had the
feeling that it did not go down all the
way. It felt like it was stuck there. I
went to bed and woke up because of pain in
my chest and upper back.
Four days later, I no longer am woken up
by pain, and it rarely hurts except when I
swallow. I get a sharp pain between my
shoulder blades and occasionally in my
chest.
I am asssuming it is because of the pill
maybe irritating my esophagus, but I don't
really know.
Does any body know what it is?
Will it go away by itself?
Or how do I fix this problem?

I do not think that swallowing a pill can
cause these symtoms. Chest pain is a
fairly general symptom that many people
experience, so I would suggest that you
visit your general practitioner for a
check up and diagnosis. But I think the
symptoms are unrelated to swallowing
medication.
