I Have A Piece Of Food (steak) Lodged In My

I have a piece of food (steak) lodged in my chest. It's quite far down, feels like the centre of my chest, I've had this before and usually drinking a lot of water or vomiting solves it, but now even if I drink water or swallow anything (including saliva) it won't go down and just sits there, eventually causing pain in my chest so I have to bring it up, but what comes up is exactly what I just drank (or a build up of saliva) and nothing more, it's completely blocking everything, including liquids. It won't come up and it won't go down. I can breathe ok but am in discomfort, will it naturally dissolve and dislodge itself?
