Should I Meet Doctor For The Sharp Pain In Chest While Swallowing?

I get a sharp pain in my chest when I swallow. Originally I thought heartburn/indigestion but I NEVER get that. A Tums helped initially but it feels like a knife is thrust into my chest when I swallow. Other than that I am a reasonably healthy 48 yr old female. It has been like this for about 36 hours. Should I seek medical help?
