I swallowed a chelated iron pill, and it felt like it went down the wrong tube. should i be worried?

If you think it went into the lung, that would trigger coughing spasms that try to dislodge and expel it. Without such a response it is unlikely. If you have had coughing spells you can always get your doc to evaluate you for the possibility.
