Are you chewing your food good enough. Sometimes as fast eater that does not chew down the food before swollowing has these symtoms. Also, it is possible you may have acid reflux which needs to have a medication to mend the damage to the esaphagus.
I would consult your doctor to get to the bottom so it can be treated properly.

any other thoughts or input.
