Functional Chest Pain of Presumed Esophageal Origin

Functional Chest Pain of Presumed Esophageal Origin refers to chest pain that seems to come from the esophagus, the tube that connects the throat to the stomach, but does not have a clear medical cause. This condition is often linked to issues with how the esophagus functions rather than structural problems. People experiencing this type of chest pain may feel discomfort similar to heart-related issues, but tests often show no heart problems. It falls under Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders, where symptoms occur without identifiable physical abnormalities, often related to stress or sensitivity of the digestive system.
