Hi,

Thank you for your query. I can understand your concerns.
The lungs and the visceral pleura are devoid of pain fibers.The parietal pleura ,chest wall ,central air-ways and mediastinal structures have pain fibers and may be the source of respiratory pain. Tracheitis can cause a central soreness/chest burns (retrosternal /mid-chest) over the trachea .Strange noise in your throat like you have asthma ,seems to be stridor (loud musical sound of constant pitch) which comes from obstruction of central airways e.g. trachea or larynx.
Flexible Fiberoptic Bronchoscopy for direct visualization of the tracheobronchial tree is advised as initial investigation.
