My 19 y.o. son has pain around his heart and it hurts when he swallows.  His lungs are clear, x-rays are negative.  He has a slight cough and his voice sounds raspy.  No fever, so sore throat.  Hes in the Air Force, the doctor told him he was fine, but the pain continues.
Hello, What you describe can occur in Gastroesophageal reflux with associated Hiatus hernia, where the stomach alignment is not proper resulting in reflux of stomach acid in the food pipe. If heart is ruled out, the above should be kept as a possibility.  Regards
