What is the cause of esophageal chest pain?

The main causes of esophagogenic chest pain include gastroesophageal reflux, functional esophageal disease and esophageal dynamic disease.

1. Gastroesophageal

reflux is a common cause of esophagogenic chest pain. Due to lower esophageal sphincter dysfunction, gastroesophageal reflux leads to gastroduodenal reflux, leading to esophageal epithelial necrosis, mucosal erosion and ulcer, resulting in reflux, heartburn and chest pain.

2. Functional esophageal disease is

easy to cause esophageal dysfunction. Eating can stimulate esophageal mucosa, causing pain symptoms, pain can radiate to the chest.

3. Esophageal dynamic disease

Esophageal dynamic disease can lead to abnormal esophageal contraction, causing vasospasm on the wall of the tube, reducing esophageal clearance of reflux, and then leading to chest pain symptoms.
