Is it normal to have tight chest pains when taking aspavor 20mg for cholesterol and it hurts when i swallow and it constantly feels like i have a lump in my throat?

It's pretty common: Heart disease under age 40 is decidedly RARE. but other reasons for throat issues are quite common. About 1 in 3 people have reflux. about that many more have other simple problems like panic attack, laryngeal spasm, etc. An ekg wouldn't hurt. scoping the upper gi tract IF somoeone knew how to examinne the larynx at the same time wouldb e ideal.

No: Experiencing tight chest pains or difficulty swallowing when taking Aspavor (atorvastatin) are not known side effects of the medication, and there’s a good chance there’s something else going on. Experiencing chest pains or difficulty swallowing that may affect your breathing is a good reason to contact your doctor or otherwise seek medical attention.
