Spasms for sure or the other one is feeling and knowing the food hasn't gone down and is on it's way out again - usually either in the car at traffic lights (true story) or on a train (seriously, I'm not making this up!)

Sometimes, on good days I can work through them, on others it feels like I'm about to have a heart attack.

I've also had a twisted esophagus during a spasm which resulted me in being rushed to the hospital - the cardiologist thought I might be having a heart attack and very quickly slipped beta blockers under my tongue.

The regurgitation, of anything one tries to swallow. In my case, liquids are o.k. most of the time.

Tightening in my throat, pain swallowing, regurgitating food that hasn't been digested because it hasn't made it to the stomach.
The worst is heartburn, apparently this pain isn't actually heartburn, it's a burning sensation in the chest due to food that has started fermenting in the esophagus, the only relief is getting the food back up.
