Is It A Matter Of Concern Of Experiencing Chest Pain Due To Swallowing Of Small Plastic?
I swallowed a piece of the small plastic that connects glowstick's, by accident and now I'm experiencing slight pain in my chest. ( It was a bit chewed so it flattened). There is no breathing problems but I feel worried it could cut a pipe, What should I do?

Dear Friend
Welcome to HCM. I understand your concern.
This can cause erosion of your food pipe and stomach.
So I would advise you to discuss with your doctor regarding adding a combination of Pantoprazole and domperidone once a day.
If he feels he may also get your endoscopy done.
I hope I am able to answer your query , still if you have any query ask me.
