What Is The Treatment For Chest Discomfort And Anxiety?

I was high on marijuana and when i took a 500mg glucosamine sulfate tablet for my bulging disc, it went down pretty rough. It became very difficult to swallow and i had slight chest discomfort. I was scared so i started breathing fast. Its been almost 2 days now and i havent had any breathing problems. Im scared the pill is in my lung and it will cause future problems. I went to the ER and took an xray but i feel like xrays dont pick up capsules. Should i be worried? I feel like the doctor may have overlooked the seriousness of this problem and i feel as if theres something in my left bronchus. Or it could just be anxiety. Please help thank you.

Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on HCM.
I can u understand your situation and problem.
In my opinion it is mostly due to anxiety.
But since you are having high heart rate and breathlessness, we should rule out aspiration of foreign body (pill) in the bronchus.
So consult pulmonologist and get done bronchoscopic evaluation to rule out foreign body aspiration.
If this is normal than no need to worry for aspiration.
It is mostly anxiety related symptoms.
So avoid stress and tension.
Be relax and calm. Consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on it.
Don't worry much, you will be alright.
