When you say 'feel' what do you mean exactly? I sometimes swear I feel my food or drink hit my stomach instantly! 😥 sorry if that's not what you meant

That happened to me I had to get my esophagus stretched because it swelled to a baby size. I would highly suggest telling you doctor. They will probably do a endoscopy with intent to stretch. It doesn’t hurt at all they just use a balloon so it’s very gentle.

Yes it slowly goes down and the sensation stops about where I assume my stomach begins

Yes. I can tell you exactly what path my food takes from mouth to anus. it hurts the whole time and the sensation is especially strong if I drink something really hot or really cold. I thought it was normal when I was a kid, as well as hearing your own digestion, breathing, heartbeat, etc. Nope, my mom is just what we affectionately call "defective" lol
