I had CK last March. Within a week of treatment, I had an episode where I was eating meat, and all of a sudden I felt the bite wouldn't go down my esophagus (stuck) and had terrible chest pain. Because I'd struggled with high blood pressure, thought I was having heart attack. Well, after several seconds the problem passed, and I swallowed OK. I went to after hours clinic that night due to high blood pressure, and they put me on meds but didn't address swallowing problems.
I've had minor incidents of this since, but not nearly that extreme until last night. Same sort of episode while eating roast beef last night, bite wouldn't go down, terrible chest pain for about a minute and a half. Lots of heartburn recently, some new meds over the past month. Have any of you had similar experiences before/after treatment, especially with radiosurgery? I'm suspicious that my blood pressure and swallowing difficulties could be due to problems with other cranial nerves (glossopharyngeal or vagus). I'm starting to feel like some sort of crazy hypochondriac.
