for a few years now I suffer from pain when eating certain foods. If I eat a sandwich, say, then after about 2 or 3 mouthfuls I get pain just below the sternum. It can be quite intense and last for about 10 seconds or so. Drinking water helps a bit but doesn't alleviate the pain entirely.
Am I just simply eating too quick / not chewing properly or does it point towards some kind of intolerance or other problem? Thanks for your help !!

Experiment until you have a list of which foods do it...that will help arrive at the answer you need. The 10 second duration sounds like some kind of spasm to me...a nervous reaction of some sort. Eating certain foods might remind you of some crappy little scene a while back...and bam you get a reaction to it.
You might see if you can deliberately create the pain in one way or the other...actively and deliberately create it...when you can do that at will then it probably wont happen when you eat something or other (if its a nervous issue in the first place).
