A member asked:
Swallowed a capsule pill 13 hours ago, and it felt like it got stuck, all day pain in center of chest and back and hard time swallowing , stuck still?

Probably not: However there are some conditions which could allow the pill to be stuck still. Usually the irritation of the tissues could be causing inflammation. This swelling makes it feel like the pill is stuck. If it continues, go to see your doctor for further evaluation.
