Suggest Treatment For Discomfort And Feeling Of Something Stuck In Chest Area
I have a feeling of something stuck on my chest. It s very uncomfortable in my chest area, between my breast and hurts between my shoulder blades. I keep swallowing trying to get relief but it s not working. Any suggestions? It seem to have started last night after I ate.
Probably, a tiny piece of food has inadequately passed in airways. In such circumstances, if no breathing difficulty, nothing is done. If breathlessness happens then do a chest X-ray for safety. Please discuss with your doctor for this.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Jolanda Nikolla, Pulmonologist
