What Causes A Constricting Feeling In Throat And Painful Swallowing?

For a few days I've had a feeling in the center of my chest like something is stuck there. It feels like when you swallow a large pill and it gets lodged for a second before it goes down. It's been 3 days and it hasn't gotten better and hurts when I swallow, especially hot coffee. Any idea what this could be?

Hello,
There could be ulcer formation because of the tablet .
You could take aerated beverages which will help if there is any piece of it stuck to get it down.
Secondly for the ulcer you should take multivitamins and in addition antireflux medicines and antacids.
They will help in healing.
In doubt do reply.
