Choking sensation and pain at the back of the head and a mild chest pain what is this sickness. its been?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many possibilities.: The heart and an anginal equivilent should be ruled out.Aorta should be evaluated also. Once stress test , ultrasoud etc done and is ok , then GI work up with barium swallow, egd, etc can be done, the most serious possibilities shoul always be ruled first.
