Pressure On Chest And Trouble While Breathing
For the last two weeks I have felt like someone is squeezing my throat and heart with the hands making it hard to breath and causing chest pain. I have also been burping ALOT. I went to the dr and they said that i might have bronchitis but I have taken the antibiotics and it's not helping so I do not believe that's what it is. It almost feels like something is stuck in my throat but I have been able to eat fine. I will get shaking chills a few times a day as well. The doctor told me to come back in a week if I still feel the same but they will probably just tell me that I'm imagining it which I know i'm not.

The closest thing from what you are describing is GERD. However, you should do ECG, blood test and urine test to make sure it is not a heart or kidney condition.
I would also do further tests for fibromyalgia and i would not exclude the posibility of high stress as the cause.
