Hello Doctor,
I am having pain while swallowing food and even while drinking water for some time. I have already undergone tests like endoscopy (UGIE), HRM/manometry, CT thorax and gastric emptying study. Endoscopy and CT were normal, but manometry showed ineffective esophageal motility. I also have a history of reflux/GERD and hypothyroidism.
Currently my main symptoms are:
Pain while swallowing food
Pain while drinking water
Mild throat/chest discomfort and anxiety due to pain
No vomiting, no breathing problem, and bowel movements are normal.
Recently I also noticed a small painful lump/swelling below the ear/upper neck area.
Current medicines:
Thyroxine
Itopride
Antacid/alginate syrup
BP medicine (Telmisartan)
Please suggest what could be the possible cause and what further evaluation or treatment is needed.

From the information provided you seem to be having
GERD(Gastroesophageal reflux disease) with Esophageal Dysmotility disorder(IEM)
Paininful swallowing appears to be due to Ineffective esophageal motility.
Kindly put pictures of the Endoscopy, HRM, CT scan reports for further assessment
