Hyeclub MD, diagnose what's wrong with me!

So on Sunday I had pizza for dinner, there were left overs, and so a few hours later I went back for another slice. Upon eating that slice I felt some pain after swallowing, and figured I didn't chew a piece of crust well or something, and that the pain would go away, but it's still here. I also up chucked some of that last slice a little while later, in small episodes, if that matters, but that may have been from eating a lot ice cream with the first set of pizza.

That being said the pain is still here. I'm fine when drinking fluids, or eating smaller foods, but anything on average size or larger still causes pain/discomfort.

The pain is here

And I know I should see a doctor, but if it were something as serious as an esophageal tear, I'd already have a major infection or be dead, and I don't think it's acid reflux b/c I haven't had heart burn, so I don't want to go for something that may be nothing

I'd give it a couple days, see if it gets better or worse... then if it's not going away I'd see a doctor. You know how it started and it didn't just happen on its own. Unless of course, there was something on the pizza that you shouldn't have eaten. You probably should chew your food more instead of devouring it like a boa constrictor. I should be one to talk.

I've never experienced this that low in the esophagus, but it sounds like a jagged piece of crust could have just scratched your esophagus. I've had this happen a couple times with taco shell or tortilla chip shards. I think it's passed within a couple of days.
It sounds like the vomiting was unrelated, but I would think esophageal scratch and stomach acid would make for an extra unpleasant experience.

BUT, as we are not qualified to dispense medical advice...

If your doctor is one whom you can actually speak to without having to make and appointment and going in, you might call ask if there's any cause for concern.
Further, some insurance companies/medical groups have urgent care nurses available whom you can ask for advice. They can direct you on whether you should go to urgent care, the ER, make an appointment with your PCP, etc. Check the back of your card for that kind of information.

My mom is a doctor and i read your problem to her she suggests you go to a doctor if the pain persists. Your doctor may recomend endoscopy to chek your esopfogus.

I can't believe someone is seriously asking for medical advice on hyeclub! Have you a death wish or something! There must be some hidden meaning.

Are you perhaps speaking metaphorically? Is the "pizza" actually Wilsonian Armenia, the "piece of crust" Sargsyan, the "ice cream" the possiblilty of open border with Turkey, "smaller foods" is the Armenian diaspora dealing with the everyday issues it allways had to deal with, "average size or larger food" is the Armenian diaspora confronted with new serious issues.
