What Causes Pain In Chest And Throat?

Hi I am 45 year old female and I have soreness/pain in my chest and my throat for the past few days. It feels light a tight heaviness. It is more noticeable when i lie on my front at night. I do not have any burning sensation or have difficulty breathing. I take Blood Pressure tablets for high blood pressure. I would appreciate any advice. Thank you.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Sore throat with chest tightness is commonly seen with viral upper respiratory tract infection (URTI).
But better to rule out heart diseases (Coronary artery disease) because you are hypertensive patient.
So get done ecg, 2d echo and stress test (trade mill test).
If all these are normal then no need to worry for heart diseases.
Do warm water gargles.
Take combination of antihistamine and anti inflammatory drugs.
Drink plenty of fluids orally and keep your self hydrated. Avoid oily and spicy food. Avoid junk food.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these but first rule out heart diseases.
Hope I have solved your query .I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
