Doctor can evaluate: Chest tightness, chest pain, or shortness of breath can be due to minor problems or to very serious ones. A doctor can check to see what might be going on. Sometimes, tests and chest xrays will be done. Possible causes include a partial pneumothorax (collapsed lung), asthma, stomach reflux, heart problems, laryngitis, other viral infections, etc... Sore throat can be tested for strep throat.

I think I accidentally inhaled/swallowed feathers from my duvet (theres a hole in the fabric), now my throat feels tight and mucusy, and chest is hurting/tight, and hard to take a deep breath. Felt totally normal prior. Will it pass? Just anxiety?

When I swallow, it feels like there is something stuck in my throat, also when I eat a meal it feels like its not going down and its just sitting at the bottom of my throat. When I take a deep breath it feels tight in my chest.

I have cold for a week now; sore throat and congestion gone. No coughing/mucous. I feel very weak and chest tightness, as i feel the need to focus on taking a deep breath. Is the tightness a concern being that it came after the cold/towards end?
