What you describe could be related to the esophagus. Perhaps something called "esophageal spasm". Or it could be severe acid reflux disease. For the latter, have you tried something like over-the-counter Zantac? See if that helps at all.

Regarding espohpageal spasm, check this out.. (It's from MEDLINE, approved by moderators to post here..)

Pain on swallowing should be evaluated by a doctor if it continues much longer. Your symptoms could be something very benign but also something more serious that needs further investigation.
