Abstract
A 30-year-old healthy woman suddenly developed uncontrollable chest oppression in the mid-chest; cardiovascular abnormalities were suspected. Esophageal food impaction, known as “steakhouse syndrome,” is a condition in which food is consumed too fast and remains stuck in the esophagus. This disease can be confused with acute coronary syndrome because the patient may complain of pain behind the sternum.
