Evaluation: Please see your physician, a chest image and PFTs may help to determine the cause. Asthma or chest wall inflammation should be considered. Take Motrin and apply a heating pad. Watch for signs of difficulty breathing.

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.
