What Could Be The Reason For Having Swelling In Throat And Tightness In Chest?

Hello Dr. I think I have peptic ulcer. I don't have gnawing stomach pain at the moment,(in the past) but my throat swells when I eat. It causes gas to be stuck in my throat... and tightness in my chest. ummmm.... This past July I had an ulcer flare up due to stress.
