What are the symptoms of a choking sensation in the esophagus? Is there any way to treat it?

Question
Yesterday until now, every time I swallow or cough, burp, I have a feeling of choking in the esophagus. Today I lie down to breathe, it hurts, eating is difficult, I have to try to swallow, every time I swallow, I have to sit tight because I feel uncomfortable to the chest muscles. Now talking or laughing, lying down, breathing also hurts in a choking and throbbing fashion. So the doctor asked me, the feeling of choking in the esophagus is a symptom of what disease? Is there any way to treat it?
