What Causes Discomfort Chest?
Hello I swallowed what I think was a chicken bone today. I could feel it in my throat and swallowed bread to push it down. I ate dinner tonight without any problems, but now I can feel discomfort in my chest. More so when I lay down. Is it possible that the bone is in my chest?

hello,
I have gone through your query.Thanks for using HCM.
your sensation if discomfert is mostly due to friction and ulceration caused by bone to food pipe ,most of time such sensation lasts for few days.since now you are able to swallow without feeling of obstruction sticking of bone is less likely.
However if your symptoms are persistent you shhould consult a gastroenterologist for endoscopy.
my best wishes,
