Swallowed Bone, Feeling Of It Being Stuck In Chest, Pain. Should I Go To The ER?

Okay, I don t want to go to the ER and tell this story unless I have to. I swallowed a peice od bone while eating pork ribs. I almost choked and swallowed instead. I felt it going down and it feels stuck in my chest. Now I am uncomfortable with chest pain that isn t going away. What signs should send me to an ER? What will happen. :0
