What Is The Treatment For Pain In The Right Breast And Anxiety?

I had a taco for dinner and I accidently swallowed a large piece of a hard shell. It hurt going down but my throat feels fine now. I immediately had some fluid to try and help soften the chip. However, I have an isolated, sharp pain on my right side. Directly below my right breast specifically. My question is, could that chip have cut me internally or could it hurt me in any serious way? Keep in mind I have awful anxiety so please he specific with your answer. My mind tends to wonder! Thank you in advance for your help!

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Do not panic. You need not worry too much. The pain could be due to swallowing large piece of a hard shell, which may have stretched and irritated your esophagus during swallowing. The pain will go down slowly. Avoid hot and spicy foods for few days. Take plenty of water. It should be fine.

I hope I have answered your question. If you have further queries, I'm happy to help you.
