How do i get rid of air bubbles in my throat and chest area?

Dr. Craig Lum answered

Air bubbles: I gather you are referring to crackling sounds when you push on the skin at your neck and chest. If this is so, what did you do before it started happening? I highly recommend you see your PCP ASAP or go to the closest ER to rule out pneumothorax.

Feel like there is a sort of air bubble popping from within my throat, sometimes in my upper chest. I dont burp and this happens randomly the whole day. Not the fizzy kind, its just one bubble at a time. My throat is also sore for two days now?

Is it normal, when you try to expel all the air from your lungs, to hear a wheezing/bubbling sound in your throat (only when almost all the air is gone and your throat and chest are tight)?
