What Could Pain In Chest And Upper Back While Swollowing,indicate?

I have had a sinus infection for the last few days. I now have tightness in my chest, which I assume is congestion...but what is puzzling me is that every time I swallow, I have pain in my chest (sternum area) and the upper part of my back. The pain is concentrated in the one spot and only relieves once whatever I have swallowed has passed that point. Is this just from the congestion or could I maybe have something more severe?
