A member asked:

I'm having a chest pain when swallowing something or breathing.what should i do? is it dysphobia?

Tests: You need to be evaluated. In particular, you need an examination of your throat and esophagus with direct exam or x-rays and you need a chest x-ray at a minimum. Only a very rare problem could cause both symptoms.

Chest pain: Generally these are separate systems. You should see your doc and be evaluated.
