Hi!

for a few years now I suffer from pain when eating certain foods. If I
eat a sandwich, say, then after about 2 or 3 mouthfuls I get pain just
below the sternum. It can be quite intense and last for about 10
seconds or so. Drinking water helps a bit but doesn't alleviate the
pain entirely.

Am I just simply eating too quick / not chewing properly or does it
point towards some kind of intolerance or other problem?
Thanks for your help !!

Experiment until you have a list of which foods do
it...that will help arrive at the answer you need. The 10
second duration sounds like some kind of spasm to me...a
nervous reaction of some sort. Eating certain foods might
remind you of some crappy little scene a while back...and bam
you get a reaction to it.

You might see if you can deliberately create the pain in
one way or the other...actively and deliberately create
it...when you can do that at will then it probably wont happen
when you eat something or other (if its a nervous issue in the
first place).

It maybe ''heartburn" or esophagitis.
