Chest Pain and Alternate Dysphagia

Abstract

A 67-year- old woman presented to our clinic with 5 years history of intermittent dysphasia. She described dysphasia during the intake of solid food and sometimes with liquid food.  She did not note abdominal pain, hematemesis, or melena, but in the past two years, she noted a weight loss of 5 kgs. Her medical history was significant only for hypertension, which was controlled by 100 mg daily dose of metoprolol in divided doses. She occasionally took non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). Physical examination did not reveal any finding.
