What to do if i feel like food is stuck in chest?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends: If you can't swallow your secretions(saliva) go to the ER. If the food that could be stuck has anything sharp like a chicken bone or fish bone go to the ER. Otherwise beyond trying to swallowing some fluids to wash it down and next trying moistened, well chewed bread to push it down. If the sensation persists, review this with your doctor.
