Pain in my chest after throwing up what should i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Get checked at ER: While it could be just a muscle pull, it is possible you tore your food pipe. If the pain persists, you should be checked in the emergency room because a tear of the esophagus would require immediate surgery to prevent irreparable and catastrophic damage.
