Is Swallowing For A Small Fish Bone Cause For Concern?

I just finished a fish dinner of which I found several small bones which I carefully removed; however, I may possibly have swallowed a small bone which like the previous ones was about an inch in length. Should I be concerned? 57y/o, 5 10,197, no Underlying medical conditions

HI
Well come to HCM
If there is no clinical symptom then just forget this, because fish bone always is medical emergency, no symptoms no worry, for a couple of days be careful for any GI symptoms , hope this helps, take care.
