How is esophageal chest pain caused?

Esophageal chest pain may be caused by esophageal structural damage, esophageal motor dysfunction, esophageal high sensitivity and other factors.

1. Esophageal structural damage

patients due to long-term high gastric pressure, cardiac surgery or esophageal hiatus hernia and other factors, resulting in esophageal structural damage, anti-reflux ability weakened, can cause gastric contents reflux into the esophagus, causing esophagogenic chest pain.

2. Esophageal motor dysfunction

patients due to decreased esophageal motility function, unable to remove food residues in time, can lead to esophagogenic chest pain.

3. Esophageal high sensitivity

patients due to esophageal sensitivity to stimulation is too strong, eating or gastric contents reflux can occur esophagogenic chest pain.
